What Customers Are Saying

The brass wood screws have mixed reviews. While some customers found the screws to be of good quality and suitable for their projects, many reported issues with the screws breaking or twisting off easily during installation, even when pre-drilling holes. The screws were described as poorly made, with weak necks and shafts that could not withstand much torque or pressure. Some customers appreciated the aesthetic appeal of the brass screws, but the overall consensus is that these screws are not suitable for applications requiring significant force or torque, and alternative metal options should be considered instead.

Better quality

Would Recommend

Seemed to be a bit stronger than other brass screws. I use them for holding down thresholds because they look better but can also be removed easily.

NOT #8

Would Not Recommend

Absolutely do not trust the sizes Hillman uses on their product labels.. These are sold as being #8 wood screws. Per ANSI Standard B18.6.1, a #8 wood screw has a shank diameter of 0.164 inch. These screws have an actual diameter of 0.128 inch, which makes them actually #5 sized screws. I'll avoid the obvious pun.
