What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise these screws for their excellent color match, low-profile design, and seamless blending with composite decking, delivering a clean, professional finish. The Torx-drive design and smooth coating make installation easy for most users. However, a substantial group reports consistent head stripping during installation, even with pre-drilling and proper tools, with some experiencing 30% or higher failure rates. While many succeed with correct technique, the reliability concerns and inconsistent quality control remain a significant drawback for a notable portion of reviewers.

Trex Alternative

Would Recommend

Since trex does not make color match screws for the clam shell decking, these were a perfect alternative.

Great on fascia boards and steps

Would Recommend

I used these on my composite steps and for areas where I couldn’t put clips. I also used for the fascia boards.

If you want quality materials to work with.

Would Recommend

These screws really make the job easier. They bite the wood easily and the star heads are great.

Terrible

Would Not Recommend

I spent more time trying to remove these screws than putting them in. First, the only way to make these *possibly* work is to pre-drill everything. Second, these dumb things bend, which makes them almost impossible to remove. Third, they strip so easily, and I tried 2 different types of stripped screw removal tools, but they would work on these. My deck has screws that are sticking up, that I couldn't remove or screw in completely, so I'll be working on taking those out until it's fixed. Do...

Total Frustration

Would Not Recommend

Like a lot of other people, I am finding the same issue that the quality is extremely poor. No matter how careful you are, a lot of screws never sink in all the way. I have tried pre-drilling which helped a little, but there is still a high percentage that simply do not go in or the head strips. If you purchase expensive composite decking, don't even consider using these screws.

Be warned don’t use on composite boards!

While these screws might be great for wood installation, they are terrible for use on composite decking? I think what happens is that the speed of trying to drill the screws into the composite boards causes the composite board to slightly melt and the screw stops drilling into the board. The screw just spins because the threads have melted material in them and no longer will bite and continue drilling into the board. Applying heavy pressure to the drill only causes the T drill bit to spin and...

Would Not Recommend

I was really frustrated with these screws. Even predrilled they do not go in all the way and strip even with a slight angle if pressure is applied. The standart 25T decking screws from the same company work great however. I have spent several hours replacing these as it was impossible to get most of them out without stripping the head. It was a frustrating waste of my time and money.

Set them level with decking surface.

Would Recommend

Spline drive did not slip or strip out. Screws left little to no debris after driving.
