Installation tips
Before driving, drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw root to minimize splitting. Use a high-torque driver or hex wrench to seat the screw fully, and consider using a washer to distribute load for larger joints. Avoid over-tightening to prevent thread stripping and wood damage.
