Quickscrews #8 x 1-1/2" Washer Head Face Frame and Pocket-Hole Screw Square Drive - Type 17 Auger Point Coarse Thread Plain, 10032 - 7000/Box

A 1-1/2 Inch Face Frame and Pocket-Hole Screw Built for 3/4-Inch Stock

The Quickscrews #8 x 1-1/2 inch washer head face frame and pocket-hole screw is sized for joining 3/4-inch cabinet stock at pocket-hole joints, where 1-1/2 inches is the standard length for pulling rails and stiles tight without over-penetrating the back face. The coarse thread, Type 17 Auger point, and washer head work together to keep the joint closed and the head seated cleanly.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch length is the standard size for pocket-hole joints in 3/4-inch face-frame stock, matching Pocket-Hole Jig settings for that thickness.
• Washer head provides a wide, flat bearing surface that pulls the joint together without burying into the pocket wall.
• #2 square drive is designed to hold the screw on a correctly sized bit for controlled, one-handed placement in tight cabinet interiors.
• Type 17 Auger point features an extended flute that clears chips and reduces driving torque in softwood, pine, plywood, and MDF.
• Coarse thread grips softwood, pine, plywood, MDF, and particleboard face-frame stock for strong pull-out resistance.
• 7,000 screws per box keeps a production shop or active installer stocked without frequent reordering.

Where the 1-1/2 Inch Length Earns Its Place

Pocket-hole joinery in 3/4-inch stock has a specific geometry: the pocket is drilled at roughly 15 degrees, and the screw must reach the mating piece with enough thread engagement to clamp the joint without blowing through the far face. At 1-1/2 inches, this screw hits that window. It is the go-to length when building cabinet face frames from poplar, soft maple, pine, or MDF, whether you are assembling rails to stiles on the bench or attaching a finished face frame to a cabinet box. The washer head distributes clamping load across the pocket wall so the head does not sink past flush under torque.

Thread, Point, and Drive

Coarse thread is the correct choice for softwood, pine, plywood, MDF, and particleboard. It grips the fiber structure of those materials and provides the pull-out resistance the joint needs. The Type 17 Auger point adds an extended cutting flute that removes chips ahead of the thread, which lowers driving resistance and reduces the chance of the point stalling in dense grain. The #2 square drive is designed to hold the screw on a correctly sized bit, which matters when you are reaching into a cabinet box and need the screw to stay put until the bit seats. Coarse thread with a Type 17 point is not the right combination for dense hardwoods like maple or oak — fine thread and a controlled point are better choices in those materials. Keep this screw where it belongs: softwoods, plywood, MDF, and similar sheet goods.

Production Volume at a Shop-Friendly Pack Size

A box of 7,000 makes sense for cabinet shops running continuous face-frame production, installers fitting multiple kitchens, or millwork teams who go through pocket-hole screws in quantity. Keeping one size on hand in bulk eliminates mid-job shortages and simplifies the bin system when 3/4-inch stock is a constant in the workflow.
