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.

Great match to composite decking
Would RecommendI was wandering around Lowe's trying to figure out what screw to use with the composite decking I'd just purchased for my outdoor shower when I came upon these. Worked perfectly. If my wife ever convinces me to build a deck off the back of our house, I'll be using these.
good quality
Would RecommendThese screws match the clam trek boards perfectly! Comes with a bit and these screws produce a 1/4 hole for matching plugs not included.
Generally good
Would RecommendI would give it 5 stars if the head was mor rigid. When you tighten it by drilling, sometimes the head is ruined and you can’t tighten nor loosen it.

Good product. Match well.
Would RecommendCountersunk very well. However, it was easier than it should have been to strip the head of the screw.

No need to predrill a hole.
Would RecommendBlends in with the composite boards. Easy to install. But it can be hard to drive all the way in.
Getsvthe job done.
Would RecommendMatch the decking well, and hold securely.Drive without stripping.
color matched to the gray TREX
Would RecommendI used this to secure trex to a deck, stairs, and a ramp. Its color matched and easy to install. I went right through the top of the trex, no hidden fasteners.

No complaints, would use again.
Would RecommendWhether pre-drilled or straight in these seem like extremely high quality screws. Love the reverse thread at the end to pull the trex scraps in. Would definitely use again.
Works as intended. Requires careful installation
Would RecommendUsed these screws to install Trex decking in areas that wouldn’t accommodate their proprietary spacers. Overall they worked well, but when we made a mistake, backing out the screw and re-driving it weakened the joint. We ended up re-cutting another trex board to size, drilling new countersunk pilot holes, and trying again.

Make sure to pick the cooler to match your decking
Great product. The only possible negative is the bits fit really loose. Hard to get the screws started. But other than that it’s perfect for the applocation

Good quality, small amount
good screws. blend well with Trex clam shell decking. Wish the boxes were a little more. 75 or 325 is a big difference.
