What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise these screws for their excellent color match and clean aesthetic on composite decks, with small heads creating a professional, discreet finish. Most find the final result solid and reliable when installation conditions are optimal. However, a notable group reports persistent screw head stripping issues even with pre-drilling, with some experiencing failure rates of 10-30%. Many note pre-drilling is essential despite product claims, and aggressive threads can cause material melting. Despite installation challenges, those who overcome them consistently describe excellent hold and board security.

Head strips easy
Would Not RecommendNever used a screw where the head strips so easily. I wish Lowe’s offered a different brand of color matched deck screws.

Would Not RecommendI finally stopped trying to make these screw work. I drilled piolet hole and changed bits, never got one all the way in without it stripping.

Trash as usual
Would Not RecommendHeads strip far too easily during installation and/or removal. 20 years in the trades, I know how to properly drive/remove a screw. I should have stopped and gotten different fasteners when these were stripping upon installation. Haste makes waste. Just spent the last 3 hours removing 4 deck boards I put down only a few months ago. I could only back out roughly one out of three screws, leaving me to try to drill out the rest. Went through a handful of drill bits trying to drill them out with mix...

Nice finished look.
Would RecommendInstructions claimed no pilot holes necessary, but I found drilling pilot holes to be much better. I was using 2” boards— possibly not needed with thinner decking. Otherwise, liked the finished look very much.
Stay Away From These Screws
Would Not RecommendThese screws are total junk. They strip way too easy. Even pre-drilling did not help. If your deck material is Trex, do yourself a favor and buy TrapEase 3. Yea they are about double the price but you get what you pay for.
