What Customers Are Saying

The deck screws received mixed reviews. Many found them to be good quality and suitable for outdoor projects, praising their color match, low profile, and secure hold. However, a significant number of customers reported major issues, with the screw heads stripping or breaking easily, even when pre-drilling pilot holes. This made the screws difficult to install, especially in composite or treated wood, and some had to replace a large number of stripped screws. The quality and performance of these screws appears to be inconsistent, with a sizable portion of customers having a poor experience.

Head strips out too easy.

Would Not Recommend

Used the longer 2.5” screws with no problems. These are terrible. The head is soft and they wear out before going in all the way. Will never buy them again

Special screws for use with composite material

Would Recommend

Screws worked as they should but the reverse threads on the upper shank of the screw seem a little too course.

Hard Bite into wood.

Would Recommend

Creates a smooth hole; reverse threads near top helps to close hole without mushrooming composite decking. I would suggest having a seal around lid of container. Had I not accidently opened the top I would not have known the free driver bit in box was missing, I checked two other boxes both missing. 3rd box had bit.

Reasonable deck screws - not so great tool bit

Would Recommend

While the deck screws themselves are as advertised and work well, the included bit is the short stubby kind that lacks the longer reduced diameter section that interfaces with drill drivers.
