The Kreg SML-C2 is a #8 x 2 inch washer head pocket-hole and face frame screw with a coarse thread, Type 17 Auger point, and square drive, sized for joints where 1-inch or shorter screws would leave insufficient thread engagement. At 2 inches, it reaches deeper into the mating piece, making it a practical choice when joining 1-1/2 inch or thicker softwood stock with a pocket-hole jig.
Pocket-hole screw length is determined by the thickness of the workpiece being joined. A 2 inch screw is the right reach when working with 1-1/2 inch nominal lumber, such as construction-grade 2x material, thick face frame blanks, or built-up panel assemblies. It also fits well in stile-and-rail joinery on heavier cabinet doors and in softwood furniture frames where the joint needs the full length to seat firmly in the mating piece. If your application involves standard 3/4 inch face frame stock, a shorter screw is the correct choice for that thickness. This screw is at home in applications where the stock thickness pushes past 1 inch.
Coarse thread pocket-hole screws are matched to softwoods, pine, poplar, plywood, MDF, melamine, and particleboard. The wider thread pitch grabs the lower-density fiber structure of these materials and holds without stripping. The zinc finish is standard for interior woodworking, cabinet production, and furniture assembly in dry shop and home environments. This screw is for indoor work.
The 250-piece box keeps a usable quantity on hand for face frame production, furniture assembly, or cabinet installation without requiring bulk pail storage. Cabinet shops running pocket-hole jigs through a mix of softwood projects will find the count practical for a day or a small run of cabinets. Contractors doing site installation of softwood face frames can keep a box in the tool bag without the weight of a larger pack.
No. A 2 inch screw is designed for thicker stock, typically 1-1/2 inch nominal lumber. For standard 3/4 inch face frame joinery, a 1-1/4 inch screw is the usual choice. Using a screw that is too long for the stock thickness can cause the tip to break through the back face of the mating piece.
Coarse thread is designed for softwood, pine, plywood, and engineered panels. The wider spacing between threads grabs the open fiber structure of these materials and resists pull-out. Fine thread is intended for hardwoods like maple or oak, where the denser grain requires more thread engagement per inch.
The extended flute on the Type 17 Auger point evacuates wood fibers as the screw is driven. This lowers the torque needed to seat the screw fully and reduces the risk of splitting near the tip, especially in longer screws driving through thicker stock.
Yes. This is a pocket-hole screw. It is designed to be driven at the angle produced by a pocket-hole jig. The washer head seats against the angled pocket wall and the coarse thread pulls the joint together.
This screw uses a coarse thread, which is suited to softwoods and sheet goods, not hardwoods. For hardwood face frames in maple, oak, or cherry, a fine-thread face frame screw is the correct choice. The coarse thread can strip or fail to hold adequately in dense hardwood grain.
When your pocket-hole joinery moves into thicker softwood stock or built-up assemblies, the Kreg SML-C2 delivers the length, thread form, and head geometry to pull the joint tight and hold it there.
