FAQ

What size pilot hole do I drill?
7/32" for 1/4-20 (T30 bit), 17/64" for 5/16-18 (T40) and 21/64" for 3/8-16 (T40). Drill size can vary with the steel thickness.

Why not use wood screws for trailer floors?
A trailer floor screw cuts a machine thread into the steel cross member, which holds far better under vibration than a wood screw.
