What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these deck screws for composite decking, highlighting excellent color matching, low-profile heads that sit nearly invisible, and strong holding power that never pulls out. The thread design grips securely without mushrooming. However, many report screw heads strip easily during installation despite included bits, requiring higher-quality alternatives. A dominant concern is the "no pre-drilling" marketing claim—most users found pre-drilling necessary to avoid stripping or splitting, contradicting advertised capability. Despite these frustrations, reviewers consistently recommend the product for composite applications when proper installation techniques are followed.

Strips too easily

Would Not Recommend

Never dealt with a screw this unreliable. You can pre-drill holes all day and you’ll still end up stripping the screw 6 out of 10 times. Use anything but this!!!

Not as good as described. Very aggravating.

Would Not Recommend

About 20% of them did not drill into the composite boards at all and many would not back out after going only halfway in and spinning in place.

Wrong bit size,

Would Recommend

This review has nothing Lowe’s could help. The bit that came with it was to big. Had to go back and get the right size. 45 minutes drive. Didn’t think to bring the issue up with CS. The screw are excellent for a lot various projects.

Predrill for ease of use

Would Recommend

I predrilled, it is not easy to use without a pilot hole. Also that reverse screw likes to fill with plastic gunk and not sink flush without the pilot

Snapped screws

In using these screws, I had some that to me seemed to actually strip and just spin in the wood. As I continued my project, I actually discovered that the screws were snapping off 1/4 in from the head. Most went if fine but it is frustrating to have a snapped screw that can only be removed by removing the board and using channel locks to remove it. I was expecting better quality.

Head strips out too easy.

Would Not Recommend

Used the longer 2.5” screws with no problems. These are terrible. The head is soft and they wear out before going in all the way. Will never buy them again

Reasonable deck screws - not so great tool bit

Would Recommend

While the deck screws themselves are as advertised and work well, the included bit is the short stubby kind that lacks the longer reduced diameter section that interfaces with drill drivers.
