What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise these screws for their excellent color match and discreet appearance on composite decking, with many noting the small head design creates a clean, professional finish. However, a substantial portion report severe head stripping during installation, even with predrilling, leading to frustration and failed fastening. Those using impact guns or proper pilot bits report strong holding power and success, while others experienced consistent failures. Overall, reviewers find the screws deliver superior aesthetics for many, but installation reliability remains inconsistent across user experiences.

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.

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.

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? 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...
