Use these on your next project and you’ll wonder why screws haven’t been designed like this all along. McFeely’s ProMax® screws are designed with a thread length for the common usage of the screw. For example: A 2-3/8” screw used to install 5/4” decking needs slightly more than 1” of smooth shank, while a 2-7/8” screw used to install 1-1/2” thick 2x stock needs more. These ProMax® screws have self-drilling auger points, self -countersinking nibs, and our special NoCoRode “Plus” corrosion-resistant plating. Use NoCoRode Undersized driver bits for best results. They are specially designed with an undersized tip that fits the recess of NoCoRode Plus plated screws perfectly. Made in Taiwan or China. Unthreaded Length 1-9/16"
ProMax™ Optimized Thread Length™: What It Means and Why You’ll Like It!Deck screws are a good example of Optimized Thread Length. The screws normally used to install 2 x 4’s or 2 x 6’s for decking are 3 inches long and have 1 inch of unthreaded shank. Since 2 x 4 and 2 x 6 deck material is 1-1/2 inches thick, the threads bridge the joint, as shown, resulting in an uneven and unsightly surface, or screws that are over-driven trying to “pull the board down.” ProMax™ screws are different: Thread length is optimized to eliminate crossthreading, and the 1/8” length system allows use of the longest possible screw. In most cases, the smooth shank and self-drilling point allow installation without predrilling! Just select a screw that provides an unthreaded shank length equal to or slightly greater than the material thickness being fastened.

Comments about 8 x 2-7/8 ProMax NoCoRode PLUS Plated Screws:
Used for replacement deck board on wooden deck. Previous board were nailed and nails were popping and many boards warped wirth nails. Replacement work necessary as previous owner was definitely not a carpenter.
"smooth operaters"

i used these screws to install cypress board and batten exterior walls. i also used nocorode 2"crews. both were very smooth to install and put no strain on my drivers all the way to the countersink. had to take care or the screws would keep sinking. i was very pleased.
I would buy this product again.

Have bought this product before. Was surprised that the coating was a shade of brown instead of being silver(metalic). Seems to work as before, which is to say it works as advertised.

Work Great

So far these screws appear to be the perfect screw for outdoor use in 2x material. I Used these on my patio furniture I built 2+ years ago and there is NO sign of corrision yet.
