          Do I need to pre drill holes to use these or are they self drilling? Also will I need to use a countersink to get them to lay flat? Home Depot told us yes to both even though these appear to be self driving screws...

          What is the shear rating on these?

          Answer This Question

          Screws don't have a shear rating only nails.

            There is no published shear rating for these screws as they are not structural screws.

            What type of metal are these made from? I'm trying to decide if I can use these or if I need to buy stainless steel screws to guarantee they won't corrode long term / be unhealthy for a tree I drive them into.

            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            These are steel screws with a polymer coating meant for long term outdoor use. Recommendations cannot be made for use on a tree as that is outside of published uses.

              Good quality deck screws that drove in smoothly and held securely without stripping. The tan finish looks clean and blends in well with the wood. I would purchase these again for future outdoor projects.
              by
              After using these, I'll never use another. Real quality in this product. I have people ask me what kind of screw this is when making repairs or constructing. They come in different lengths and colors too. I love how these bite the wood and don't let go, don't back out, and go in smoothe as butter!
              by
              Purchased these about a month ago for a deck project I was working on. Screws are very good quality and worked perfectly for my project. The star bit works perfectly and none of the screw heads stripped while using. Screws are priced very fairly. I've actually purchased them again for another project I'm working on. Lots of different options out in the market but I will be purchasing these each time from now on out. I would recommend these screws for any upcoming projects you have scheduled. You will not be disappointed. I don't really have any recommendations for improvement. Seems like they have everything covered

              I use these screws for fence boards, they are very easy to use, better than nails, they are resistant to corrosion, from now on I will only use that type of screws.

              This was a great purchase. I bought these to fix a fence that was tilting. The length was perfect to go through the 2x4 and into the treated wood posts. The box of screws came with a free torx bit inside the box, which was a life saver since I had lost mine.

                I love the brand, and the quality is undeniable. The screws go in quick and easy and have a hold second to none. I used these on a project for my fence modification. Looks great and it looks like it may be there well beyond the rest of the fence.

                Just the tip
                Bought these a few days ago to make a couple garden beds. The screws are great, fills the predrilled holes sufficiently and gets the job done. The bit that comes with it, is less than impressive. The bit would almost disappear into the abyss of the impact driver and often times fall out. Spent more time playing Where’s Waldo and having to stick it back in than it took for the job. Buy the screws and a separate bit.

                  These deck screws start fast and drive quickly into treated lumber. One star reduction for poor quality control (screws with no threads).
