What Customers Are Saying

The Grip-Rite deck screws offer a durable and corrosion-resistant design with a star-drive head that provides excellent grip and prevents stripping, making them easy to drive into wood without slipping. They have good holding power and can securely fasten wood together, though some users found they had trouble gripping pressure-treated or wet lumber. While a few customers reported receiving defective screws, the majority found the screws easy to use, especially when paired with an impact driver. Overall, the screws appear to be a reliable choice for most outdoor construction and repair projects, as long as the user takes care to pre-drill holes when working with challenging lumber conditions.

Worked Great

Would Recommend

Have a 26 year old deck that the nails are coming out of the wood. Have to pull the nails and replace them with a deck screw. The countersink well and the course thread was a plus in pulling some of the crooked boards back into place. As the nails are affected by the sun and pull slowly out of the wood, we will no longer be hammering them back in. We will use these screws to repair the deck. Any further decks that we build will be screwed together and not nailed.

Easier to predrill starter hole

Would Recommend

I am a lady and it was much easier for me to predrill the hole just deep enough to get it started.. Seemed difficult for me to get it to catch the wood without a predrill.

Easy to use

Would Recommend

I bought these to frame in my basement and love the way they work. They screw in very easy and are long enough to hold without getting your hand in the way.

Robust fasteners well worth the extra cost...

Would Recommend

I rebuilt my 14' X 12' deck using these fasteners and I was amazed at the finish and strength of this product. The overall strength of my entire deck improved using these over the twisted nail type they replaced. The star head was superior to any phillips head type in regards to ability to handle torque and a secure feeling while driving them into the wood without feel of sliping out and marring the deck finish.

Can't go wrong with screwing it!

Would Recommend

The best screw for just about any framing job. Pulls everything tight. For the DIYer, Pay the extra money and use screws in place of nails for your stud walls, joist w/ hangers or without, etc. You want be disappointed.

Never use drywall screws (except for drywall)

Would Recommend

These screws converted me. If you're using drywall screws for wood assembly, STOP! They're brittle and not made for stress. They can snap under load. These screws have high tensile strength, plus the coating is superior against corrosion. They're easy to work with, too. They start self-drilling and go after a couple of turns. They go right thru treated lumber, no stalling. These are well worth the marginal price difference. The only "con", you need star driver tips. They supply one, but make sur...
