Fantastic screw - highly recommend

I used these to evenly fasten a strip of my new decking. It holds the wood in place and looks great in place of unsightly nail/screw holes. I also used a 5 1/2 to attach my railing post. The screws are very strong and the bits don't slip - they are designed for impact drills. It is necessary for outdoor projects. This is my third time using them and I will definitely continue.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

21st century screws!

These screws are STRONG. I use them to build cattle pens and haven't failed yet. They come with a lifetime guarantee against rust and corrosion, meaning your job site won't develop rust streaks or rust fall off. The Phillips head is a vast improvement over Phillips or square head screws as they cannot be removed when screwed into even the toughest woods. The large head brightens up even the simplest of projects and gives a very neat, clean look.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Excellent screws for construction.

These screws are amazing. They are much stronger than screws. They install much faster than cleat or bottom bracket bolts and they look even better. The large flat head provides much more holding power without the need for shims while still maintaining a low and sleek profile. I used them for the wooden railings on my bridge and they look great against the painted wood. Installing one of these Phillips screws requires a lot of force to hold the bit firmly in place, especially with longer screws

Pros
  • Heavy Duty Construction
Cons
  • Non-Automatic
