But the screws that come with kits these days are not usually of the highest quality . The wood screws should have more thread on them than the metal self tapping pk type screws and therefore you can afford to have the drill hole a little bit bigger and this will alleviate overtightening and chance of stripping thread or busting off the top of screw. Maybe Caleb could help as he doesnt have as much strength as you,ha ha Anyway,hope things progress satisfactorily for you all,Ken Soft Screws
