More corrosion resistant than 18-8 stainless steel screws, these have excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water and are a good choice for ACQ-treated (arsenic-free) lumber. Also known as trim-head deck screws, they have a small flat head and slender shank to reduce the risk of splitting. The Type 17 auger point and narrow body penetrate softwood and plastic-wood composite decking material. They cut threads into drilled holes as they’re turned, so they require less driving torque and cause less stress on material than thread-forming screws. Screws may be mildly magnetic. Length is measured from the top of the head.
