What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these cement board screws for exceptional quality, durability, and reliable performance. Most highlight the self-tapping design, epoxy coating, and two-stage threads that drive cleanly through cement board, sheet metal, and hardwood without issue. The included star drive bit is a major strength, preventing slipping and stripping under high torque, with many noting it outperforms competing brands. Some report difficulty getting screws started or maintaining bit engagement, and a few experienced bit shattering or broken heads. Despite minor drawbacks, the vast majority recommend repurchasing and consider them superior to alternatives.
