Any body try GRK cabinet or come across any other brand of pocket screws?

Thanks.

GRK used to make a pan head screw just like the kregs.

listed on their site, not sure if it is still available.

Pin thanks I'm looking for exterior . I was looking at grk and kreg I can't see why they wouldn't work. #8 is #8 the only minor detail I see is under the pan washer head the grk has a slight bulge. Also can use grk in other visible apps because there not blue.

I believe it's the size of the washer that's going to be your problem. Not the screw size.

I thought it was a "truss head" not a pan head.

Pan head it is. Just read it on grk. Also watched video on kreg about sizes. The pan head fine thread is best for hard woods and 1/2" ply. You would course for soft woods , ply and so on.

I only use square drive for pocket screws. Screw stays on the end of the bit better making me go faster. I use GRK screws for most other applications but the star just doesn't stay on the end of the bit as well as the square when doing pocket screws. Just my opinion.

well this is not exactly what you asked but what the heck .been using these http://www.screwsolutions.com/Bronze-Star-One-Fourth-Inch-Lag_c_110.html for the large kreg tool ,the one using 1/2" bit .I can get longer length screws then kreg carries which sometimes i want .
this company carries a smaller shanked screw they call a truss screw , Not sure if they would work ,I have plenty of them and will try it .but I believe they are have a thinner shank .

For exterior projects or in treated lumber I use Kreg stainless steel screws. I have to order them online because no one around here carries them close by

I use them on some jobs. They ain't cheap though. I used about 6 boxes on a massive fence once and not one snapped screw. My fingers didn't like them though. They are stupid sharp.

The GRK pan screws and cabinet screws are two completely different screws. The pan screw will fit pocket holes perfectly and the cabinet screws will not work at all with pocket holes, they are designed for hanging cabinets not constructing them.

Here is a link of the Pan screws I use with pocket holes.
