What Customers Are Saying
Most customers praise these screws for their color match and seamless compatibility with composite decking, delivering a clean, professional finish. However, a substantial minority report significant head stripping issues during installation, even with predrilling, with some experiencing failure rates of 10–20% per batch. Many note predrilling is essential despite product claims otherwise. Several users found that switching to an impact gun resolved stripping problems, suggesting tool dependency. While aesthetics and design intent satisfy the majority, installation reliability concerns affect a notable portion of users, creating a divided customer experience.

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

Great on fascia boards and steps
Would RecommendI 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 RecommendThese screws really make the job easier. They bite the wood easily and the star heads are great.

Terrible
Would Not RecommendI 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 RecommendLike 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?

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...

Don't buy
Would Not RecommendI used these on my deck and they kept stripping out even with a pilot hole

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