I’ve had these screws for a while and they’re my favorites. #2 square head, self tapping, cutters on the head, black (the ones in the pic are 2 1/4 but I’d get various). Shopping online for screws is such a pain with all the choices I was hoping someone could help me out. I think I got these from woodcraft or McFeeley’s but can’t find them again.

My go-to for square drive is McFeeley's.

I've switched to Spax screws. They are readily available locally at both color BORGS and some hardware stores. They come in a variety of head and drive styles.

I think they call those "nibs" under the head. use that term in your search string.

Thank you all for the options.
McFeely’s doesn’t seem to carry what I’m looking for - The only thing that meets the filter are some cement board screws.
Bill, those are pretty darn close and would work.
I will look into quick screw and bolt depot. Rockler might be the ticket too.

Do you have to get them at McFeely’s ?
Do they have to be black ?
Do they have to be sq. drive only ?
Tony’s link appears to be a match.
These should be close enough :

and these seemingly check your boxes too :

I have very similar screws from Woodcraft that are Highpoint brand.

I missed the cutters on the head, Matt. I use GRK for that kind of thing. Not square drive...torx...but darn nice screws!

I ended up going with QuickScrews. Their cost / 100 was about half that of Rockler and cheaper than the others and I got exactly what I needed. Only bad thing is the shipping cost is $20 unless you spend $100, so I spent more than planned but filled in some holes in my screw inventory.

Chuckling. Never thought I would see the day when I dropped $100+ on misc screws. But have...

Yea, I've "stocked up" many times to minimize shipping/handling charges. For the sizes I use frequently, I don't bother with the small boxes, either...of course, that may mean my beneficiaries may be very flush with screws someday. :) :D

Gives new meaning to screwing your beneficiaries.

I stumbled across an on-line hardware store called Jake Sales, that is located in Montana a couple years ago. They have a pretty good selection of screws and other fasteners. Intuitive web site, and reasonable pricing and shipping fees. https://www.jakesales.com/construction-screws-s/1630.htm
