Review on 🔢 MAXS62714 - Stainless Steel Number 3 Inch, 5 Pound Weight: Product Review and Specifications by Flavio Scarola

Not as brittle as decking or drywall screws, but flexible as nails. But they have the connecting/holding power of the screws. Self-tapping and drives easily into hard wood without splintering. It's a bit more expensive, but a small price to pay in a large project scheme for it to last and be reliable. Revain charges $2 more per box, but you have convenient shipping options if you don't live near Home Depot.
