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.

Bought these to finish a project I started with Backer-On screws. This resulted in me cursing so loud in the upstairs bathroom that my dog came up to make sure I was ok. This is a terrible product. The included star bit fits poorly in the screw heads which makes it really difficult to get them started in backer board and then fails to drive them all the way down. I tried another star bit, but that didn't work much better. I tried getting them started with a hammer, but still couldn't get them to...
