Review on πŸ”© KREG SDK C2W 700 Coarse 2-Inch Screw by Alif Wills

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Wrong fasteners for my application

These screws did not work on my deck. I used standard 5/4 compression wood from a big box store. The wood there isn't fully dry and will move a bit, the shrinkage was enough to break more than half the fasteners I've used, so I'd say they don't have much shear strength. I suspect they do well with composite decking, but not with natural wood. They can also work well on a wooden deck that's mostly in the shade, or other areas that don't experience large temperature/humidity swings. I also had trouble with the initial installation as a couple of screws broke - they also can't handle a lot of torque. I'll never know if they can get the job done because I ended up pulling out all the boards, removing all the broken Kreg screws with a punch, and replacing the fasteners with standard decking screws. Now the deck boards stay where I put them.
