Details
Wood can move as much as 1/8" across a 12" board. Luckily these 14-gauge steel HIGHPOINT® Figure 8 Fasteners are made just to reduce the effects of this movement on a wood joint. Typically used to connect an apron to a surface, these 1-1/4"-long x 5/8"-wide fasteners have a multitude of other uses. 10 pieces. Screws included. We suggest using a 11/16" forstner bit to install the hardware.
Features:
• Helps reduce the effects of natural wood movement
• 10 pieces, screws included

Terrible screws
I tried to install 6 of these fasteners on an oak table, and even though I drilled pilot holes, 3 of the screws snapped, leaving a wasteland of steel stubs buried in my table apron. I even tried installing one screw with a manual screwdriver instead of a power driver, and I snapped the screw pretty easily with my own modest strength. And even when the screws did go in properly, the countersink on the fastener is just a rounded edge, not a true countersink, so the screw heads don't sit flat.
