Customer Reviews for DECKMATE #9 2-1/2 in. Tan Exterior Self-Starting Star Flat-Head Wood Deck Screw (5 lbs./435-Pieces)

I used these screws for a lot of stuff

These screws are great and love the easy drive of the star head. We always use this brand when doing our outside projects since they are coated for a long-term hold.

Worked great for my deck boards.

Great screws. They start quickly and hold tight. Used them to put 5/4 decking up on my stud walls in a new metal building.

Worked ok the heads were painted on alot of the screws making it hard to drill in the wood

I just resurfaced a 800 Sq deck using 50 lbs of these screws not even 2 months ago and the screws are snapping after installation. I've used these for years and they have always held up but something chained because these are breaking at an alarming rate. I am passed and will be calling the company to complain and will be filing a complaint with the BBB. Dont buy these you will regret it!

I installed my decking boards with ease, but a couple of months later start seeing screws lifting up. Worse than with nails on the previous deck. At least a 1/3 of the screws are broken at the thread line. Wasted a lot of time and money.

Great Screw but squeaks a lot if you drill too fast. It's a good idea to lube it with a bar of soap first.

The screws do an excellent job. My only complaint is that the star bit included in the box is too short to work well in my electric driver. The bit falls out of the chuck and is easily lost. It should be longer and capable of being captured by the chuck

These screws are always the choice of contractors for a reason. We love the way they grab the wood and the star bit keeps the screw on the bit nicely.
