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.

Excellent quality screw that is very strong.

These screws are excellent quality. The included bit has great grab and never slips.

In fairness, used on hardiboard

Would Not Recommend

The included bit shattered on screw 4. Went back to store to buy replacement bits. Bought 4 more (Dewalt) and those lasted between 4 and 8 screws each. Switched to nailer. Several heads stripped off as well. May work great with other materials but these screws seem to have a bad bit-to-screw match. Between the screws and replacement bits I spent $23 to drive around 30 screws.

Would not bite

Would Not Recommend

Had a small project to install and bought these to secure the cement board, they would spin and spin and not bite. Returned the unused ones and bought the other brand which drove with one hand. These also chewed through T20 bits while the other brand uses T25 which are more robust. Save time get the other brand.

Finicky

Does not like to stay in the bit when using it. Pretty finicky to install the fiber boards.

Star bit size too small

I liked the star shaped head but the size of the start is too small.
