This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Having bought screws just the other day, I was exasperated at how I could not figure out how long the screw actually is between my thumb and finger cause they're in a sealed box.
But I knew exactly which material they have been plated/hardened with. ๐คท
So, I understand why you posted this.
And the info about the (pre) drilling is just ๐๐
Yes, no need to guess or to do test holes to see which drill size is correct
While I'm certainly no handyman, I usually just hold the drill bit to the screw to find one slightly smaller, then just use that.
