    Serrated Stainless Steel Square-Drive Flat Head Wood Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wood Screws. Serrated Stainless Steel Square-Drive Flat Head Wood Screws.
    Lock in for a tighter hold than typical wood screws. Serrations beneath the flat head dig into wood to secure these screws into place. Made of stainless steel, they won't degrade from moisture or chemically treated wood, such as ACQ-treated (arsenic-free) lumber. Also known as a Robertson drive, the square drive handles more torque than slotted and Phillips drives, so it's less likely to slip.
    The screw drill tip acts as a built-in pilot, though pilot holes are still recommended near edges to avoid splitting. Length is measured from the top of the head.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these screws resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.

    Stainless Steel Square-Drive Flat Head Screws for Wood and Composite Wood

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wood Screws. Stainless Steel Square-Drive Flat Head Screws for Wood and Composite Wood.
    Fasten decking and fencing outdoors with screws that won't rust. They're often used with chemically treated wood, such as ACQ-treated (arsenic-free) lumber. Also known as deck screws, their trumpet shape spreads pressure to prevent splitting, while the flat head limits snags. The square drive handles more torque than slotted and Phillips drives.

    Fasten these screws flush into wood decking and fencing. Also known as deck screws, their trumpet shape spreads pressure evenly to prevent splitting and surface damage. The flat head sits flush, so you won't need to worry about snags. The Phillips drive handles enough torque to screw into most kinds of wood without slipping.
    Drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw to prevent splitting. Length is measured from the top of the head.
    Corrosion-Resistant-Coated Steel—Resist rust at the level of stainless steel. This coating has been tested against extreme standards for wet and outdoor environments, including 500 hours of salt spray.

    Deep, sharp, and widely spaced threads cut into workpieces without splitting them. These domed-head screws are often used on particleboard, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and hardboard such as Masonite. The Phillips drive handles enough torque to drive into most kinds of wood without slipping.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    Black-Oxide Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these screws have a dark, matte coating to create a finished look. They offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.

    Steel Square-Drive Flat Head Screws for Wood and Composite Wood

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wood Screws. Steel Square-Drive Flat Head Screws for Wood and Composite Wood.
    The thin head reduces surface damage and leaves a smooth, near-invisible finish on trim, drywall, and other surfaces. These screws have a square drive that handles more torque than slotted and Phillips drives. Their flat head sits flush so they won't snag.
    Drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw to prevent splitting. Length is measured from the top of the head.

    Steel Phillips Flat Head Drilling Screws for Joining Wood to Sheet Metal

    Image of Product. With Cutting Wings. Front orientation. Wood Screws. Steel Phillips Flat Head Drilling Screws for Joining Wood to Sheet Metal, Cutting-Winged Body.

    With Cutting Wings

    Join wood to sheet metal by drilling, tapping, and fastening in one go. These screws have a self-drilling tip to clear the way while their threads tap into the material. The flat head sits flush, so you won't need to worry about snags. The Phillips drive handles enough torque to drive into most kinds of wood without slipping.
    Length is measured from the top of the head.
    Corrosion-Resistant-Coated Steel—Resist rust at the level of stainless steel. This coating has been tested against extreme standards for wet and outdoor environments, including 1,000 hours of salt spray.
    Cutting-Winged Body—These wings create a tight hold by preventing screw threads from engaging until they reach the sheet metal. Then, the wings snap off so the screw can switch from drilling through wood to fastening into metal.

    Sealing Screws for Wood and Composite Wood

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wood Screws. Sealing Screws for Wood and Composite Wood.
    Prevent rot in roofs, decks, and outdoor posts. The rubber-backed washer in these screws keeps fluid out of fastened joints. They're made of stainless steel, so they won't degrade from chemically treated wood, such as ACQ-treated (arsenic-free) lumber. Also known as trim head screws, they exert less pressure on surfaces to curb splitting and distortion. The square drive handles more torque than slotted and Phillips drives, so it's less likely to slip.
    The screw drill tip acts as a built-in pilot, though pilot holes are still recommended near edges to avoid splitting. Length is measured from the top of the head.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these screws resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
