I don't know where I got them from, but I appear to have a few wood screws with a small drill bit on the end. Except the drill makes a hole the same width as the screw. How stupid! I always use a pilot drill thinner than the screw, or the screw doesn't have anything to grip!

Have you actually tried one in a bit of timber? Maybe you will find that, in spite of what you think, they actually work OK!

They look like wood screws apart from the drill bit. What are they for then?
