HILLMAN FASTENERS 47751Click To Copy Deck Screw, Square Drive, #8 x 3", Galvanized, 1 lb

The Hillman Fasteners 47751 is a galvanized steel deck screw designed for exterior fastening applications such as decking, fencing, and outdoor structures. It features a square drive, also known as a Robertson drive, which provides increased driving torque and reduces cam-out and stripping for easier, one-handed installation. The screw's sharp point allows for quick starting, often eliminating the need for pre-drilling, while its optimized thread depth and sharp thread angle ensure superior holding power and minimize wood splitting. The galvanized zinc coating acts as a sacrificial layer, offering corrosion resistance and protecting the steel from rust. This finish promotes effortless countersinking and is engineered to resist staining wood, though it is generally recommended to avoid use with cedar or redwood to prevent potential tannin staining. These screws are suitable for use with ACQ, CA, and CCA treated lumber.
