What Customers Are Saying
The Grip-Rite deck screws are praised for their durability, ease of use, and strong grip, especially when used with an impact driver. The star-shaped drive head is noted as superior to the traditional Phillips head, as it prevents stripping and allows for more torque. The screws are reported to work well for a variety of outdoor projects, and the corrosion-resistant coating helps them withstand the elements. However, some customers experienced issues with the screws not countersinking properly in pressure-treated lumber, and a few reported rusting over time.

Would RecommendGreat screws, if these won't hold it, not much will. Used for some repairs to a tree house and helped repair a deck and add a ramp to a friend's home.

beats competitor's screws hands down
Would RecommendThese are the only screws I buy for exterior use. Made the mistake of buying some coated deck screws from Ace Hardware Brand screws and they continue to rust on a fence I built. I will only purchase these screws from Lowes from now on. Never had a rust issue with them. Love the torx bit head

Green deck screws
Have used these for deck building, and for building forms. The torx head is so much better than a Phillips head screw. Will continue using them for any assembling needs.

Better design
Would RecommendI’m a big fan of Thai start head over the Phillips head. These also have the “cutter” on the tip so they punch without needing predrilled. I used these outdoors on some board and batten a while ago and they don’t seem to be rusting or staining the wood. I bought some more for use in the garage and the quality seems to be just as good.

decking screws
Would Not Recommendi would not put these in a pressure treated deck if they gave them to me.i have spent two weeks ripping up boards etc. that are 2 1/2 years old because these GREEN decking screws rusted in two and boards started popping up.use the tan decking screws, galvanized to stainless.
a problem
Would RecommendThese screws work well in all conditions except one, salt water. If thats involved they will rust, it takes a long time but they will rust. Other than that theyve never been a problem. I should mention I,m a professional contractor .
