HD, these STRUCTURAL FRAMING 1/2-thread screws will not work on 2x4 to 2x4 construction; too long. Please sell the 3 inch version! Let me know when you have them please. Thanks.

What size pilot hole to use? I will be mounting some hardware to soft wood.

Answer This Question

When using the #9 2 in. Phillips-Square Flat-Head Wood Deck Screws in softwood, it's generally recommended to use a pilot hole. For this size screw, a 1/8-inch pilot hole should be sufficient. This will help prevent the wood from splitting, especially when working with thinner pieces.

Is this screw suitable for securing 2x6x10 fence boards ?

Answer This Question

Yes! It is excellent. This is a 1/2-thread screw for attaching 2x lumber to a post,etc.. It penetrates the first 2x; slips on it (because there is no thread, and then screws into the second lumber which pulls the 2x up snug. Use 3 inch for 2x to 2x con,

      Are these for exterior deck use? Will they stain or rust?
      ByMar 21, 2023
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      These are 1/2-thread FRAMING screws. Use to build the deck frame. Deck screws have 3/4 of the screw with thread or a 1/4 upper reversed thread to lock down a deck board. These WILL squeak if used on deck boards! Ceramic coating lasts years.

        Are these screws Harden?
        ByJul 28, 2018

        Answer This Question

        The screws and bit are made of extremely soft material. Good luck if you're using them on hardwood. They shred.

          Yes, these screws are hardened. You are more apt to break the enclosed driver bit than the screw. In fact, I don't recall ever breaking one of these screws.

            The Phillips II Plus exterior screws met all expectations. I built a small fence and gate and these 2.5 inch screws helped complete the job. The screws were easy to drive with the ACR bit which was included in the box. I will purchase these again.

            Perfect
            Used to mount 1x2 strips to pressure treated posts. Predrilled the strips and screwed straight into the post. Almost too simple.

                I really like these screws for all sorts of projects around the house. I've been using them for years. They are strong and do not rust. I wish they had them in the store, but online with in store pickup worked.

                These are garbage. See the picture attached. The screws you see in the picture came from just one board on my deck. I am going to have to take up my entire deck, which will probably be more work than putting it down in the first place. I used two 5 lb. boxes. The box says, in several places, that the screws have a "Lifetime Guarantee Against Rust". As you can see, mine not only rusted, they rusted completely through, and deck boards are now coming loose. Here's the best part: my local Home Depot denies that Home Depot sells this garbage, and told me I am on my own.

                  Nice to not have to deal with torch bits all the time you can use a number to Robertson or a number 3 Phillips
