Kreg SML-C2B-50 Blue-kote Pocket Hole Screw

Product Description

The KREG SML-C2B-50 is a Blue-Kote pocket hole screw designed for wood joinery applications where moisture resistance is a priority. Blue-Kote screws feature a specially formulated coating that provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard zinc-coated fasteners, making them well-suited for exterior, treated lumber, and high-humidity environments. This screw is sold individually and is installed using a compatible pocket hole jig and driver bit. Carpenters, finish contractors, and skilled woodworkers use pocket hole screws to create fast, strong face-frame and butt joints without visible fasteners on the finished surface.

Pocket hole screws like the SML-C2B-50 are used in residential and light commercial woodworking and millwork applications. Typical use cases include cabinet face-frame assembly, box construction, stair treads, outdoor furniture, and deck framing with pressure-treated lumber where a corrosion-resistant fastener is required. The Blue-Kote coating is specifically intended for use with ACQ and other chemically treated wood products where standard coatings can break down prematurely.

Key Features

• Blue-Kote corrosion-resistant coating rated for use with pressure-treated and ACQ-treated lumber
• Pocket hole screw geometry engineered for use with pocket hole jig systems
• Designed to draw and clamp wood joints without pre-drilling a separate clearance hole
• Sold as a single unit with a minimum order quantity of one

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fastener for use with standard pocket hole jig systems that accept compatible pocket hole screw sizes.

Installation Notes

Pocket hole screws are typically installed by carpenters and finish trades using a dedicated pocket hole jig and a square-drive or Robertson driver bit. Always ensure the jig is set to the correct material thickness before drilling the pocket. When working with pressure-treated lumber, use only fasteners rated for the specific preservative treatment to prevent accelerated corrosion. Follow local building codes when fastening structural components.
