Deck Plus 49000 Exterior Wood Screws, #8 x 1-1/4", 4-Layer Epoxy Coated, Torx/Star Drive Included, Coarse Thread, Decking Screws, Outdoor Rust Resistant, Brown, 186pcs

Same as the big box stores but cost less. Bought them for our deck boards and they work great

I love the star (Torx) drive. They can handle being driven into wood without a pilot hole (as long as the wood doesn't split). Phillips head screws are O.K. but I have found that the Phillips driver bits wear out way too fast. I will always use star drives from now on. I have the same star bit I purchased 5 years ago and it has driven hundreds of screws. The screws are completely coated and take a bite easily. No rust visible after years of outside use. Just be careful when ending your drive. These screws will easily drive past the surface, so take it easy if you are looking for a flush mount.

Quality product / Great color / Excellent size / Valued priced.

We purchased the Deck Plus Wood Screws #8, 1 5/8" long for three purposes. . . one, to build base cabinets for our remodeled kitchen of our new, older home, two - to affix new kitchen floor panels where the kitchen floor was replaced, and three - to revitalize our exterior wood platform. The length was appropriate for the 3/4" plywood panels that did not require pocket screws as the walls where the screws hold together the panels are not visible. Additionally, the screw's feature of "self drilling" was a time saver; another "plus" for us is that being "exterior grade" the screws will surely outlast the panels in a humid kitchen environment. The platform planks outside our bedroom were "loose" as the screws used to assemble the steps were not "exterior grade" and corroding. After a few hours of "finagling" we were able to pull them out and replace them with these Deck Plus Wood Screws saving us from replacing the entire assembly. The boards we had to replace were secured with these screws that made swift work of the task. We recommend these wood screws because they can be used around the house for just about anything with no need for pilot holes or in areas where the wood may split - with a pilot hole. Highly recommended!

These are very nice screws. I ordered 3 1/2-inch screws, so I gave only a 4 star because there were several 2 1/2-inch screws inside the box too. Otherwise, I would have given 5 stars. In the photo you'll see a 3 1/2-inch screw and the 2 1/2-inch screw all from the same box. There were 20 of the 2 1/2-inch screws in the first box of 3 1/2-inch box. But still nice screws for my job of building a porch. I will order this product again.

very happy with purchase

Used for securing fence post support repair. Drill bit included, short shank but did the job well and didn’t strip out the screws. Screws were easy to drill in and didn’t require pilot holes. Easy to use.

Wonderful and less expensive than the big box stores
