Customer Reviews for DECKMATE #9 x 3 in. Self-Starting Star-Drive Bugle Head Brown Composite Deck Screws (1 lb./65 pcs)

The heads strip out way too easy these screws have always been a problem for me

They work in cases of improper install of composite inserts. Not in cases of joist rot.

Several screws had no threads. The bit included become unusable after about 10 screws had been driven. I probably would not purchase this item again

They strip easy. I do not recommend them.

The right screw for the job.

Needed a strong screw for the stairs; this design is exactly what I needed

Don’t ever buy these. The manufacturer should be ashamed of ever having added such a pathetic and deceitful product to their store offerings. These are the worst screws of any type from any company that I’ve ever purchased. I’m a professional home renovator. These suck. Absolute garbage. They strip out immediately. So frustrating.

Worked fine. No issues.

The screws were very easygoing kind of pricy but worth it

I returned them. I used another screw

The heads rounded out too easly. Heads could have been a little larger so the set bit would have had more internal grip.

Preformed as I expected they should.

These work well on both composite and wood.

Works as intended, doesn't rust.

The screws look great once installed in the deck, and they hold very well. My only complaint is that the star-drive opening in the head needs to be deeper. The drive bit cams out fairly easily and when it does, it destroys the star shape in the head, making it impossible to either screw the screw out or, if it's not quite in, to insert it further.

Buy a better fit the one they come with is junk

These worked really well in a set of steps I built for my Daughter’s outdoor shed. The bit supplied with the screws worked perfect.
