Patent attributes
An anti-split wood screw includes a screw head and a shank. The shank has a tip portion connected to a distal end thereof, a first thread extended helically from the front end of the tip portion toward the distal end of the shank, a second thread extended helically from the distal end of the first thread toward the shank, and a third thread extended helically from the distal end of the second thread toward the middle of the shank. The second thread has a plurality of serrated cutting edges and teeth peaks that are alternately disposed. The anti-split wood screw thus formed can tap an object through the first thread, cut off the chips generated during tapping through the second thread, and channel out the chips through the third thread without being clogged by the chips, hence can avoid the object from splitting and damaging.
