#4 x 1/2" Solid Brass Flat Head Philips Wood Screw (1/2" to 1-1/2" in Listing), 100 Pack (#4 x 1/2")

A wood screw is a thread forming screw with sharp thread at a coarse pitch. It is used for directly fastening two wood surfaces. Wood screws have a smooth shank that allows the screw to pull the two pieces of wood together for a tight joint to prevent the wood from pulling or splitting. Pre-drilling is suggested since brass is softer that steel screws. It will also help avoid splitting of the wood.
