FAQ

How do I keep brass wood screws from breaking?
Drill a pilot hole and a shank clearance hole, then drive a steel screw of the same size first to cut the threads. Remove it and drive the brass screw by hand. A little wax on the threads helps, especially in hardwood.

How is wood screw length measured?
Overall, from the top of the flat head to the point.

Do brass fasteners rust?
No. Brass contains no iron, so it does not rust. It will tarnish and darken over time, especially outdoors. Polish it to keep it bright or let it age to a natural patina.
