Tried another brand, one that claims to be "oxidized" but turned out to be crap. This one is strong and durable. Remember, this is still steel (not a precious metal like platinum), so set the torque low and don't over-grind. With normal use (on furniture etc.) you will get satisfactory results. If you're using them in a heavy vehicle or RV, you should actually go to Lowe's Store and spend the extra money.
