Q: Should I drill a pilot hole before driving these in?

We had these good-quality brass flat-head screws made to our specifications. They are rolled brass with well-defined threads and strong necks, and have machine-cut slot drive heads.
The countersink angle is 90° for flush fitting with the chamfer angle commonly found on today's hardware. As with all brass screws, a countersunk pilot hole is recommended before installation.
The screws come with a clear lacquer coating to help prevent oxidation and discoloration.
Offered in packages of 10 and 100.

Not under normal use. A clear lacquer coating on each screw helps prevent oxidation and discoloration, though it can thin out where the screwdriver bit repeatedly contacts the slot.
Brass holds up to moisture and tannin-rich woods without staining the surrounding wood the way plain steel can. It's a common choice for furniture hardware, marine trim and any repair where the fastener stays visible.
