would there be a problem
using these screws in wood?

IME, German made Spax are well engineered, work well in wood, and are
well worth the extra expense for applications where sheer force strength
is required.

Just insure they're not chinese ripoffs, because those are on the market.


The box says Altenloh, Brink & Co. U.S., Inc.

"Manufactured in U.S.A. or Germany"

What are your thoughts on the "No Pre-Drilling In Wood" claim?

Depends on the wood. In construction grade lumber they go in fine. If
it's something you would have to drill to nail then drill for SPAX.
