What's your favorite screw?

Loring,
Somehow I didn't think you were really referring to a mechanical fastening device.

Alas, I'll guess that you're asking about my favorite fastener.

I usually use dowels in my work.

Every now and then I require something else - in which case, I reach into my Kreg Toolbox. I do like GRK screws, as well.

I've been using square drive screws for probably 15 years, buying them from McFeelys well before Graingers bought the business. Generally I've not needed stainless unless I was working with treated lumber. These GRK styles look interesting.

does Grainger's own McFeeley's?

answering my own question: YES. Wikipedia article on Graingers

GHC Specialty Brands is the result of Grainger's acquisition of Lab Safety Supply and several other catalog companies, including Gempler's, Ben Meadows, Highsmith, and McFeely's. It markets safety and other industrial products to customers under several brands throughout North America.[7]
