I am making a couple of small cabinets using face frames with pocket screws. I have the Kreg "Pocket Rocket" jig, and things worked nicely with the screws they provided.
I ran out, so picked up a supply at Lowes. The box was marked for the Kreg jig and the screws were 1 1/4 inch long---just like the originals.
The problem is that the new ones have a round skirt on the head which keeps the screws from holding tightly when I try to tighten them, they just spin loosely.
Any ideas as to what's wrong, why those danged skirts, and the name of a good source for the "real thing?" (And I don't mean Coke!)
Thanks a lot.
