Ratings & Reviews for FastenMaster Collated Cortex for Royal Trim Screws and plugs White Hidden Deck Fastener 50 Linear feet ( 75 -Pack )

Poor design all the way around

The driver bit stripped on the first screw and the head wouldn’t countersink, just spun and stripped out the borehole. Going to go back and get SS trim screws and dump this in the trash.

Work fairly well, but....

These work fairly well when I was attaching my trim seal pieces around my garage doors, however, you have to be very careful that they do not countersink too far. The material I was working with was very soft and the screws would counter sink so far that they would pull through the material. The felt-tip piece that acts as a stop on the countersink could be a little thicker or a little harder material to prevent the screws from being driven in too far. I ended up taking it off after the 3rd scre...

Work as advertised

I was skeptical about the plugs going in smoothly and being almost invisible. I'm also glad I did not bet on it because they look great. Be sure to let the driver bit "bottom out" when putting screws in. This ensures that the hole depth will accommodate the plug. No worries, it will not keep driving through your 3/4" trim board. Be sure to tap the plugs into place with a piece of wood or PVC trim between the plug and hammer or mallet. I gave the product 4/5 stars because the instructions are poo...

Work great so far.

The stores couldn't find them even though they said they had them. I ordered them on line and had them delivered to my house. We'll see how they look after five to ten years.

Tips could be sharper and heads could be harder.

Pretty good product but overpriced

Two things that reduce my overall rating on this are: 1. the screws are fairly soft and the heads strip pretty easy, and 2: there’s no good reason this product should be priced where it is.

big finish

I love the way this tool works and how easy it is to use. the plugs fit perfectly and are almost invisible when inserted. Makes for a nice clean job.

Wouldn’t countersink on PVC brickmold

Bought these for installing PVC brickmold but the heads would not countersink. Tried several times using the highest power setting on my drill. Best I could get still had the head about half way sticking up. Ended up having to pre-drill a hole to countersink the head. That predrilled hole was larger than the included plugs so now I need to find some larger plugs or resort to caulking and painting which defeats one of the reasons for using PVC trim. Wishing I had thought about gluing the brickmol...

Fasteners for trim board

A must for man made Trim boards. No rust, hides in trim

Easy install using small impact driver

Plugs fill counter sunk holes for appearance. Looks great.

Fasteners disappear

So easy to use and the plugs are perfect - no more sloppy looking caulk in trim screw holes

Makes board move when penetrating wood hard to keep on the mark
