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.

Torx to small
Would Not RecommendTorx head is a 20 instead of the standard 25. The problem is it is unstable when you initially start to screw it in. I had to start them with a hammer. Never had this issue before in 30 years of carpentry

Don't buy it.
Would Not RecommendThe screw is made for a T20 drive bit which is too small. Similar products use T25. I used Dewalt drive bits which are top of the line but they deformed & galled out after driving about 70 screws because the torque diameter & drive slots are too small. Also the screw took way too long to bite into the cement board, they would typically spin on the long taper point (poor design) 10 - 15 revolutions before self cutting through. I will never buy this product again. Note: there was no drive bit i...

Rock-On!
Would Not RecommendPicked up a box of these today to try out. The key in the screw head is too small; I stripped several heads trying to flush them with the hardi. The bit twisted after around 19 screws. I have always used Rock-On with no problems. Never again

Don’t use these screws with cement backer board
Would Not RecommendThese screws use a T20 Star Bit for installing them. They have to be flush or slightly more. The problem with them is to get them embedded as required, they stop before getting flush, and wind up ruining the bit. I went through a pacer of 10 bits before I had to purchase a different brand use a T25 Star bit which does set flush easily without ruining the bit.

Not recommended
Would Not RecommendUsed with Hardie Backer and the 1 5/8” screws were hard to start and would not fully seat. Switched brands and had no problems.
