Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise these screws for strong holding power, flush installation, and clean appearance on composite decking, with many noting the small head design and color match as key advantages. Most find them reliable and expect long-term durability compared to traditional fasteners. However, a notable group reports installation challenges, particularly with the included bit quality and countersinking consistency, with several recommending pre-drilling or purchasing a separate T20 bit. Some experience spinning or stripped heads, though technique and material density affect results. Despite these concerns, most customers consider them a solid value choice for composite decking projects.

Stability
Would RecommendAlways reliable
Difficult Install
Would Not RecommendI purchased Deckforce for my Trex deck as I had run out of Cortex brand fasteners and Lowe’s did not carry Cortex at local store. The Deckforce screws were very difficult to bite into Trex board with many going in at an angle. Once installed they performed well in holding the deck board secure to the joist.

don't buy these
Would Not Recommendthese screws sucked. they would not pull in completely even with pre-drilling! Spend a lil more and buy the ones with the bit in the box that pre drills with a counter sink but included. we even tried doing that with these screws and they still didn't pull the Trex fascia boards in tight.
Easy to use

Buy a Bit
Would RecommendI have used better screws. The screws weren't bad, but... get a better T20 bit. The included bit wore out quite quickly. The screws themselves were good and held well.
