What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise these composite deck screws for holding boards firmly and blending seamlessly with decking, with many highlighting the small head design and color match as key advantages. Most find them easy to drive with the correct bit, particularly the T20 star head. However, a notable portion report countersinking difficulties, spinning issues, and problems with reverse threads near the head causing stripping. Several recommend upgrading the included bit or adjusting installation technique. Despite installation challenges, most customers consider them a solid value choice for composite decking projects.

buy slightly longer than you normally would
Would Recommendthe left hand threads at the top have a tendency to cause you to strip out a hole too easily, unless you buy them minimum 1/2" longer than an ordinary construction screw you would use for the same project. the threads also destroy composite if you ever try to back them back out once they've been counter sunk.. they look good though

Hard to grip
Would Not RecommendOften, the screw didnt grip very well. When I tried to take it out, it would just spin.

bad screws
Would Not RecommendThe reverse thread creates more problems than help. These screws drive in and spin about half the time, every screw needs countersunk with a drill bit, waste of time. needs redesigned.

Doesn't sink well
Would Not RecommendThese screws are hard to get started and do not countersink well. When they stop biting into the wood, they will not go any further and are almost impossible to back out. The T-20 bit is not very hardened. I plan to return.

The bit fit and drove the screws as intended
Would RecommendGrab material great
These are terrible
These are the worst Trex screws I have ever used. You have to pilot hole them and 50% of them strip out before sinking far enough into the board for the head to be flush. I strongly recommend against using these as they will slow your project down immensely.
