wrote in :

I'd like to have some 'ball park' figures for the torque which typical
wood screws can handle. Can anyone give me some typical figures or
point me at a web site that has them? I would emphasise that I'm
after the torque figure, i.e. the amount of twist needed to break
them.

Ask the buggers who fitted my double glazing
