    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.
    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.

    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.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    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.
