    Hi Crowie
    Can you tell us what a "stitching screw" is, and where it is used.
    regards from Alberta, Canada

    The problem is refixing old hardwood timber paling to newly replaced hardwood fence rails.
    I have galvanized phillips drive stitching screws, but they really need to have a pilot hole drilled for easy safe fixing/screwing of the stitching screws.
    It's a matter of trying to save time, be a little safer with the process.
    Thank you gents for the assistance and inquiry, cheers Peter.

    those look a lot like what I know of as a self-taper used to attach sheet metal to either itself or thicker metal

    Hi Crowie,
    Now I know what you are looking for try Screw-It-Screws – SACHYS Industries – Australian distributor of the Robertson Square Drive screw system and check out their catalogue.
    Regards
    Hugh

    I think your problem is the hardwood rails.

    self-drilling screws with Dry-lube can help as can a tailed screw driver or an impact driver -- but if the hardwood is seasoned, you will likely need to use pilot holes.
    If you only have a drill/driver it'll be and before bed time
