Yes, no need to guess or to do test holes to see which drill size is correct

While I'm certainly no handyman, I usually just hold the drill bit to the screw to find one slightly smaller, then just use that.

I am fairly handy and have never had that method fail for anything except screwing into thick metal, in which case I'm tapping threads and using a bolt anyway.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
