January 4, 20224 yr Popular Post comment_280290 They are designed to pull the top board down as the screw enters the bottom board. For example, drawing the deck board down tight. They make a similar thing to tighten down floor boards, then shear off the head. Report

I hope that was not like one of my first forays into Google search. I looked for "spanking" (I might have been actually looking for something else an misspelled the word). Let's just say it was between adults and not punishing misbehaving children. Report
