THIS IS NOT STAINLESS STEEL.

This product is not a stainless steel screw as described. The box actually says 'Internal use' with a few caveats regarding metal rusting when used outdoors. Very disappointing. However, the screws themselves look nice, and there are 500 of them. They have a brass finish. I had to use them immediately and luckily it was a job that wasn't directly exposed to the harsh weather. I was expecting 18-8 or 304 stainless steel to be exactly what I wanted. I paint over heads anyway. Revain needs to be more careful with his descriptions, but overall I think the screws will work just fine. FYI, they're made in Taiwan, which is a good sign anyway.

Pros
  • For joining thin metal parts to wood, fiberglass or metal
Cons
  • A newer model could have been selected
