They’re great screws that fit
"They’re great screws that fit the Kreg XL driver quite well along with awesome holding power. I’m a remodeler of 32 years and have used them in multiple structural and framing applications including outside."

Great product - works well, does good job.
"Bought the XL jig and box of 200 screws to join some green-treated 2 X 4 lumber for framing two outdoor structures. The system worked very well; holes were easy to place, screws pulled up snugly, and the joints were true at 90-degrees and very tight. Far simpler than using angle braces or Simpson Strong ties. It seems like a "do it once, do it right, and get on to the next project" solution - my grandfather would have loved something like this for some of the small outbuildings he constructed over the years because it is much faster and stronger than toe-nailing stuff together at 90 degrees. First class all around, and I recommend this for anyone looking to join 2-by and 4-by lumber accurately, quickly, and permanently (though the screws can be removed if you ever need to disassemble things)."
Set screw on collar keeps
"Set screw on collar keeps becoming loose, but otherwise it is a fantastic jig."
Q&A
- Why cant we buy the protec coat screws in other lengths? I need 2" coarse thread. Don't want zinc or blue
- The XL screws are a large size and only have two settings on the jig. Those settings only require 2 screw size. None of the settings require a 2" screw. If you are using a stand jig with a 3/8" bit, then you will need to use the zinc or Blue-Kote.
- What kind of plug should I use with the 2-1/2" HD pro-tec kote screws in ground-contact pressure-treated lumber? Used my XL jig and bit.
- We do not have any pre-made plugs. If you own the 720, you can buy the Plug Cutting Block or you can purchase 1/2" wooden dowels.
- I'm attaching. 2x4 on the flat as a top and bottom rail to a 4x4 post is the 2 1/2" xl screws long enough?
- When working with lumber of two different thicknesses, you will go with the smaller thickness settings and screw length. So in your case, you will use the 1-1/2" settings and use the 2-1/2" screws.
- Can I use the 2 1/2" HD screws with 1 7/8" Ash?
- Yes, you can use that screw in Ash.
- Attaching 2x6 rail material to a 6x6 post. What length is recommended? Will be using the Foreman with HD drill bit.
- When working that thickness of lumbers, you will use the same screw as the 1-1/2" thickness or 2-1/2" screws.
- I'm joining red oak and as you may know the tannins are corrosive. I'm considering using the Protec-Kote extra long screws. How would this compare with your stainless steel for corrosion resistance and for shear strength? Thank you.
- Any of our screws can be used with Red Oak. When working with it indoors, I would recommend using the fine threaded zinc screws. If outdoors, you will use the Blue-Kote.
- Does the hole size for the XL take a different size plug?
- The XL Jig will drill a hole that is 1/2" in size. The standard Jig is 3/8".
- How do I decipher the stock code on the screws?
- Visit kregtool.com/screw-key for help deciphering the stock codes on Kreg screws.
- Why can I not buy HD screws in bulk amounts?
- The largest size box of the HD Screws is the 125 pack.
- Are there any 2 1/2 inch fine screws for use with the Kreg?
- I am sorry to say, we do not have the HD Screws in Fine Thread.
