Review on πŸ”Œ Hillman Power Pro Elite Outdoor by Will Rahman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very strong, very functional, finger friendly

I've used half the box and not a single screw strip has come loose, bent or failed. I haven't tested them in this weather yet. One weird thing I love about these screws is how comfortable they are to use. It's one of those things you don't consider when buying screws, but there's nothing worse than getting your hands on splinters of metal every time you pick up/use a screw. They are smooth with no jagged/sharp edges. But they grab and sink easily into the wood. I used a Dewalt impact wrench with them which is a good power drill. But I had many problems with other types of screws when using the same drill. The torx bit grips the screws very well and sometimes even has trouble loosening them after you've countersunk them. It's fine, but the handle can overwhelm the magnetic nozzle from time to time and pull the nozzle out of the drill. It only happened a few times. A bit lock will help if you don't mind changing bits with pliers. So far I would definitely recommend these Hillman screws. This applies to all sizes in which they are available.

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
