Absolutely horrible

I used these screws while finishing a deck. I had nails but wanted to add extra support so utilized a lot of these to secure my framing.

Ate up my deck boards

These really tore up my deck boards something awful! Shredded!

The best screws/ anchors

I love the 5 star tip that makes fastening these screws easier, less hassle, etc. and even enables you to one handedly use these screws! They are coated and do not rust. And, if you ever need to remove them, the 5 star tip makes removal a breeze!
