What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise these stainless steel screws for exceptional rust resistance and durability in outdoor applications like fencing, docks, and decks. Most highlight strong holding power and long-term corrosion protection. However, many report that Torx heads strip easily during installation, even with proper technique, forcing some to discard 30-40% of screws per project. Some users adapt with firm pressure, but the recurring complaint is that head design and material softness undermine reliability. Despite installation challenges, reviewers affirm the screws deliver reliable performance once driven successfully.

Good screw, Must do SS in beach area, many strippe

Would Recommend

Good screws, these do better than the 1 inch which all seem to strip with star bit. These go it without pilot drilling. Have also used 3 1/2 inch which is good for beach environment.

Strong Screws

Would Recommend

We drove over 700 of these on a deck overlay project and didn’t twist off a single one.

Broken Screws

Would Not Recommend

While using these in pine, every 3 screws or so would snap in half as I was putting them into the wood.

Strips Easily

Would Not Recommend

The heads strip out too easily vs their ceramic screws. They work if you have to use them but if you have a choice go with something else.

Terrible screws avoid them

Would Not Recommend

These deck screws are terrible. The heads cam out, heads snap off. I bought a 5lb container & used half for my deck spindles. The spindles were only an inch thick & these screws could not handle the job. I threw the rest in the recycle bin where they belong. My suggestion is spend the extra money on a better screw, I ended up purchasing GRK screws for my deck boards & they worked flawlessly. They cost a lil more but I have piece of mind. *****You’ve been Warned!****

Best with impact driver

Would Recommend

Using these in a fence building project. Using a power screwdriver I was initially disappointed. Despite claims on the box, the T25 sockets on the screws stripped quite easily (despite drilling pilot holes). After I switched to an impact driver they worked much better.

Use caution

Would Recommend

These screws are stainless steel. Not heat treated, therefore soft. They have a T30 head. So it’s very easy to twist of the heads in even moderately tough material. Drill pilot holes and all should go well. Just don’t treat them like a deck screw. The manufacturer chose rust resistance over strength.
