Ratings & Reviews for SPAX Multi-Material #8 x 1-1/2-in Double-barrier Exterior Construction screws 165 -Per Box

Good heavens, what screws!

Why does the Spax bit that comes with it suck so badly?

Difficult to start

I used three boxes of these screws in 3/8 inch plywood. 80% of the screws required excessive force to start and the suppled T 20 torx bit engaged so poorly they may as well been Phillips heads. The job took twice as long because of these lousy screws.

The driver tip did not fit into the screw head

The provided screw driver tip did not fit correctly into the screw heads which made them hard to install without a collar on the screw tip holder attachment.

strong screws

strong screws

Torx, awkward and weak

Torx not easy to work with. And this screw brand brakes easily. I didn't like it at all, but needed mushroom head screws.

Bits to short

I used them to fasten a tarp over my outdoor storage shed

Performs as expected.

These did what i needed them for at a decent price.

Perfect fit.

Wide head kept the clamps in place.

Easy to find

Did the job I wanted done.

Does not strip

Great

Pain to use, Great concept

The main issue is the small torx T20 and that the wafer head pocket is to shallow. The concept is good and thought would be good for metal hangers for hurrican ties. But wasted tons of time due torx slippage in head or strip. would not waste time again on these unless they change the head design
