Self drilling screws for hard wood

Thumb

This very special screw, called WoodEase, has a drill point, then a knurled shaft that will drill out the clearance hole as it goes through the wood and special knurles on the underside of the head to assure that it will settle right down flush in hardwood -- without drilling any pilot holes, clearance holes or countersink holes.

You can find it at specialty stores like LeeValley.com
