kreg Jig screws , anything else you can use?

Just wondering if there is another brand of the pocket hole screws
around, instead of the kreg brand.

No I can find them, its just seems that you can always find a "NoName"
Brand that works just as good. But looking at the one post it seems the
best way to go is with the Kreg ones.

Yes there are but IIRC Kregs are the cheapest. At least the last time I
checked.

Sure. Check out McFeelys. You can also use #7 and #8 pan head screws
that you can buy from many hardware vendors.

I wonder what the OP's reason for something different. I use the Kreg screws
with complete satisfaction. Never really felt the need to look elsewhere.

Can't find Kreg, or any other flathead wood screw here in Spain.
So I use all purpose wood metal screws with flat heads. They work so
so.

Well all you have to remember is two things it needs to be a wood
screw and it needs a flat head or is it "shoulder" Not one of the
sloped style that self recesses.

Nothing wrong with trying to get the most for your money though they
couldn't be that expensive. I don't even know how much a box of Kreg screws
cost. I just bought some about three days ago. Obviously cheap enough that
it didn't make an impression. He could, of course, be using hundreds. In
that case, cost would be a bigger factor.

I tried their regular pocket screws and ended up returning them; the
Kregs fit a LOT better in the holes.

However, their Powermax screws work great.
