What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these screws for exceptional quality, durability, and reliable performance. Most highlight smooth driving into cement board and wood without pre-drilling, excellent holding power, and flush countersinking without splitting. The included star bit and self-tapping design receive strong appreciation for preventing stripping and improving torque transfer. Many commend the epoxy coating for superior corrosion resistance in moisture-prone areas. Some report difficulty getting screws started or bit seating issues, and a few prefer competing brands, but these concerns are far outweighed by widespread satisfaction and strong recommendations.

This is one of those "you don't get what you pay for" items as they are the most expensive cement board screws I found. The issue is they are using a T20 star head which is tiny (the standard EVERYWHERE is T25) so you will fight with these screws no matter the material or bits or drills. I tried just wood to see if it was the cement board but nope, same issue. Thankfully I only had to do a couple areas with these screws. These are for sure return and never purchase again. Backer-On uses a T25, g...
