What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these screws for reliable performance across woodworking and mounting applications, with most reporting successful installations without issues. Many highlight durability, noting they held fast in hardwood, drove smoothly, and resisted corrosion. Reviewers used them for shelving brackets, headboards, and wall stud mounting, often noting they outperformed manufacturer-supplied fasteners. A small group experienced head stripping under high torque or overtightening, describing screw heads as soft. Despite isolated concerns about stress resilience, most customers consider these screws dependable and well-made.

Careful of Stripped Head

Would Recommend

These screws worked sufficiently for what I was doing but feel like the heads were soft and already started to strip when I tried to tighten them. I used them to install door hinges in hole there were already very loose.

Not well built

Would Not Recommend

This is the most absolute garbage of a wood screw I've ever experienced. They are not strong enough to screw through 2 x 4's - even when I predrill them. The heads strip extremely easily, and they break inside the wood when you give them to much torque - WHICH SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN PRE-DRILLED HOLES IN WOOD! Absolute garbage!
