/diy/ - Do It Yourself

You forget the POWER of Chinese made screws. I once twisted the head off of a woodscrew made out of 100% pure Chinesium using only a hand screwdriver and I am a limp-wristed 4chan dweller!

My favorite event was when a sheet of plywood 'popped off the wall' in our shop when about half the screws holding it up all failed. You know that is some shitty steel when you have a 50/50 shot of being stronger than 1/4 inch plywood when trying to hold up 40 pounds of flatscreen TV.

But yeah, generally the head of the screw is going to tear through the wood or the threads will rip out before the screw itself does. Assuming you by something decent.
