Have used these screws for years. The heads never strip out and never rust or change color. I've had these screws on some deck rails for four years and they still look like I just put them down yesterday. 5# 2-1/2" Tan Exterior Screws
These are the best all purpose screws available. Using their bit the screws never cam out. The shafts are very strong. I have never had the head come off. They also resist rust better than any other screws I have tried.
I built 200 feet of custom fence with pressure treated pine. It has been 4 years and I had to take a section down to put in a pool (you'll be glad you used screws!!!) and the screws were like brand new. The zinc screws from the gate latch sheared off when I tried to back them out. Stainless is definitely the best, but these are fantastic.
These are the best most reliable screws that I have ever used. Like other customers here I originally bought these at Lowes. I was so impressed that they are the only screw that I have bought since. Recently I went back to Lowes and found that they no longer carry them. I will be stocking up online shortly. I love how easy these screws are to use and they hardly ever strip unlike the new brand which Lowes now carries.
I've got a very long board-on-board wood fence around each of two properties I own. The contractor who built the fences used junky nails; the heads of the nails started rusting off in less than two years, and the boards started popping off of the fence. As I systematically replaced all of the nails with screws, I pretty much went through every brand and make of wood screw that Home Depot and Lowe's sold, none of which were very suitable. For one reason or another, they just weren't up to a good enough quality standard: difficult to start in the wood, heads strip out half-way in, heads snap off half-way in, heavy rusting after only a few short months, etc. I was very dissatisfied with every different brand I tried, that is, until I came across these Phillipsii brand screws at Lowe's. They are wonderful! Best wood screw I've ever used. The bite into the wood like a hot knife going through butter, and the ones I put in 5 years ago still look to be in as good a condition as the ones I put in last weekend. Several weeks back, I went to Lowe's to purchase more, and to my horror, they stopped carrying them. I went on line and thankfully I could get them via the company web page with free shipping, so I stocked up!
I have used these screws on decks and playsets and I would highly recommend them. They are very hard to strip and as the product description states they do not rust. It is possible to scratch off some of the coating while driving the screw, but that is relatively difficult to do, and the screws that have had a small amount of the coating scratched off have not given me any problems. I have never had one of these screws break while being driven or removed. This product is well worth every penny.
I bought these at Lowe's a while back and found them to be the best screws ever. They didn't strip and went into wood easily. When I went back to Lowe's to get more they didn't carry them, so I looked for a place to purchase them online because I didn't want to use anything else. - Very Fast'
