You’ll be amazed at the difference an auger point makes on a Square Drive stainless steel screw! Great for use with pressure treated wood, or premium materials like Redwood and Western Red Cedar because they are truly self drilling. Passivated type 305 stainless steel provides even more corrosion resistance than the usual type 304 stainless steel (a bit of extra nickel really helps). Avoid any potential for splits: be sure to test or pre-drill when you install at the end of a board. Pilot holes may be required in some applications. Note the non-standard screw head diameters (.344). Made in Taiwan.

        Comments about #10 x 3'' Auger Point 305 Stainless Steel Screws:

        Bought over $1,200 of these overpriced screws. Seem to drill well & grip well in wood decking on boat dock. Biggest complaint is they are TOO SOFT! About 5% of the screws would either break on installation or the square drive head would strip out & require time consuming removal with a cats claw & vice grips. Will have to see how long they withstand corrosion. At this point, I think they are too expensive for the amount of wasted screws you encounter.

                  Comments about #10 x 3'' Auger Point 305 Stainless Steel Screws:

                  I replaced the deck boards on my deck & used these screws. I have used other square drive screws before & these 305 screws held up during installation better than any I've used before. I did have a couple break since I was screwing the new boards into 19 year old joists.
