Quickscrews Launches Quick Questions with Greg Wiener

Episode 1: How is a Quickscrew Made?
Episode 2: Why Do Screws Split Wood?

For more than 37 years, Quickscrews has been dedicated to solving problems for both professional and hobbyist woodworkers. Over that time, we’ve learned that truly understanding a problem is one of the keys to providing a solution that lasts. That’s why we place such a high value on education—continuously learning, refining our knowledge, and sharing what we’ve discovered with the woodworking community.

To further that mission, we’re launching a new series of short videos on Instagram and YouTube, each under 60 seconds, addressing some of the most common questions we receive about screws. Join Greg Wiener, CEO and founder of Quickscrews, as he breaks down these topics in clear, concise, and practical ways. These quick reels and shorts are packed with information you can apply right away.

Ever wondered how a screw is made? In one of these videos, Greg walks you through the entire process—from the initial wire to the final packaging—offering a rare, behind-the-scenes look at every major stage in between. It’s a bird’s-eye view of how the screw you’re holding came to be.

In another segment, Greg explains why wood splits. While Quickscrews has developed several features to help prevent splitting, it’s important to understand why it happens in the first place. Greg covers the underlying physical causes and offers practical tips to avoid it, helping you achieve cleaner, stronger results in your projects.
