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.

Would RecommendI really like these. They go in nice and hold tight. It comes with the star bit in case you don't have one. Go's right in without any issues and you don't need to predrilled the hole. You get 140 9 x 1 5/8 screws per box. I am using these to put up new walls on my shed. They do the job well. Wish I would have received 9 x 2" instead but I am not complaining.

Starts easy holds tight
Would RecommendPerfect little screw for the job. We used these on a remodel job and had zero problems. They start easy and hold tight as... well they hold tight. Couldn’t have asked for more and we’ll be using them again. Very happy with results.

Gets the job done
Would RecommendThese cement board self tapping screw's are very nice.. The star head is a big improvement over normal drywall screws. The star head prevents slipping and stripping.. These screws will definitely be my screw of choice when working with cement board or drywall.. Thank you!!
Great product
Would RecommendThis is crazy, but I love this screw. From the sel tapping to the star tip. Just apply a little pressure and it goes straight in and did not strip. Star tip attachment comes in box.

Excellent cement board screw
Would RecommendI used these to put up cement board around my fireplace enclosure during a remodel. I just love the self tapping feature of these. No drilling required. Perfect length to counter sink easily. Very nice product.

Outstanding
Would RecommendAn Excellent fastener. Absolutely no fuss or worries mounting cement board. Out lasts and truly better than nails and stainless screws. I just finished a project using Power Pro screws and Durock boards. And I tell you it was quick and painless. No pre drill, drove into older hard wood studs without a hiccup.

Screw it!
Would RecommendThe first time I have ever done cement board I found out how great the screws are! I use this type of screw for a lot of applications. Cement board screws are a little on the pricy side... so that’s something you have to consider. These screws are very well formed, very sharp, and very strong. The threads are sharp and more corse that like a drywall screw that’s why I like them for many different things . Cuts very well into cement board and sits flush just how it should!

Solid product with good tech.
Would RecommendThese are certainly an improvement from the old school screws. That's a huge step forward. They are fast threaded so they go in smooth and very easy. Self tapers too. The extra threads at the top near the head are perfect as they grab the board and make a very tight fit. Plus a torx head is terrific for strong high torque fit. I found these easy to use and a solid connection when they were put in.

Best screws yet
Would RecommendWhen working with cement board if you've ever done it you have to buy screws that are specifically designed for that type of application, the thing I like about these, is that they will work with all forms of boarding, wether it is hardiplank, durock and like materials. They have a textured head counter sinking head and a twist shank with a self piercing point and drive right in to wood or metal studs which is awesome for commercial applications you normally would have to buy self tapping screws...

Great for High Moisture Conditions
Would RecommendI used these cement board screws to remodel my bathrooms, as I was concerned about corrosion resistant finish and preventing rust from bleeding into grout and board. They seem perfect for use in high moisture areas such as bathrooms & shower areas - I have a great deal of faith and trust in them serving their purpose for many years.

Excellent Quality fastener
Would RecommendThese fasteners work great! Their aggressive dual thread and self tapping tip make installation in the hard composition siding easy and the included tip means no hunting around for or purchasing a special tip.

Well made cement board screw
Would RecommendI recently received a Power Pro Cement Board Screws container of a 140 screws size 9x15/8, at first glance I figured they were just like many other cement board screws, but there is more to these screws then it seems. The first thing you notice is the aggressive thread design, and believe me it is aggressive and wants to go into the board on its own, The next thing I paid attention to was the top of the screw, has a very nice 6 point star drive head, so no problem with slippage, it also has what...

Works great for Hardie Panel
Would RecommendUsed these to put up a dozen Hardie Panels. I liked them better than using a nail gun.

Arrived Ready To Use
Would RecommendArrived in an easy to open plastic packaging container in which the screws can be easily stored. The screws themselves look and feel high quality in construction. Screw in easily. I would buy these screws. Lifetime warranty is an excellent feature.

Fantastic Screws
Would RecommendThese cement backer board screws are the most impressive I have ever used. Every detail has been considered down to a textured head for improved mortar adhesion. The sharp point along with the split tip (see photo) provide excellent penetration every time. No more excessive pressure and buckling of the screw and driver! The star driver provided is the standard length where others provide a stubby version if a bit is provided at all (see photo). With this star arrangement not one screw head strip...

Very nice cement board screws
Would RecommendI've used Rock on and Backer on cement board screws for years for all sorts of tiling projects. You absolutely have to use a coated screw in any cement board. Otherwise, water, and the chemicals in any cement board will destroy the screws over time. These new Power Pro screws are just as good as any I've used. Note, these have an epoxy coating. I think the others are ceracoat, or something like that, a kind of backed on paint I believe, like powder coating. Epoxy coating sounds like it'd last...

Quality screws
Would RecommendThese are high quality screws that come with a bit to install them. They bite good with the bit and haven't had a bad one yet.

Self-Tapping Torx Bit - Cannot Get Better!
Would RecommendThese are good screws and I like the self-tap feature along with torx bit - The box includes a much longer driving bit also unlike a smaller one that is typically included in such packaging. These will blend well with the material I will be using on.

Excellent
Would Recommend#9 x 1-5/8” Ceramic Star-Drive Cement Board Screws (140-count) Great screw, does what it’s supposed to. Super sharp, the screw goes into wood or metal studs with ease. The reverse thread right below the head keeps the countersink area clean for the screw to set right in nicely. It comes with the T20 bit, which fits the head securely. The plastic box is pretty nice, as it definitely won’t be spilling open unexpectedly. The top hinges and snaps down quite securely, if not a little too tight....

Great for gripping wood!!
Would RecommendWorks great for gripping into wood you need to take it easy with steel studs if you go to fast it tends to pull through the stud, also would like to see them come with a few tips so you and a buddy can put material down together instead of sharing same screw gun.
