What's up with these sorry screws? I was putting the finishing touches on an expensive project and was using Hillman #8 X 1 1/2" screws to secure the bottom. Holes were pre-drilled and countersunk with the appropriate CS bit. Out of 12 screws, 5 broke as they started to bite into the wood. No torque or anything. Dang near ruined the bottom trying to remove it to get the embedded screws out. Now I will have to drill around the screws with a plug cutter to remove and plug the hole and re-drill.
Next time I'm at the big blue box store, they will get an ear full. I'm even tempted to call and/or write the company about this. There is no sense carrying sorry offshore screws to save a few pennies. It would be different if the price reflected the product, but they charge as much or more for that trash. I learned my lesson and will not buy their sorry trash again.
