Product description

BOLT DROPPER fasteners are the only hardware you will ever need to keep your applications secure and withstand the tests of time.

Bolt Dropper deck screws are solid stainless steel. No exterior finish, no coatings, nothing but the finest 100% 18-8 (304) stainless steel. You’ll never have to worry about the “stainless steel coating” chipping because there is none!

Hate rust? Yeah, us too! That’s why Bolt Dropper screws are made with Marine Grade stainless steel. Use them on your saltwater dock, your mountain home deck or anything else. Not only will you have that bright shiny stainless look, it will last! No rust stains.

Stop stripping screw heads and try our deep cut square drive. Our wood screws ensure the bit fits deep and snug in the head to help reduce stripping.

Not only do our deck screws have deep, thick coarse threads that really give the screw the bite you’re looking for but, they also offer a Type 17 self drilling tip which easily cuts into wood or composite material eliminating the need to pre-drill. Increase efficiency and productivity with these bad boys.

Similar to a flat head screw except they have a concave under head which increases the weight distribution of the head. This allows for better holding power and helps eliminate pull through while keeping the head flush with the material. Excellent choice for decking!

Deck Screws not what you’re looking for? Not to worry, Bolt Dropper offers an expansive selection of screws, nuts, washers, zip ties and more!

Customers say
Customers find these stainless steel screws to be of good quality, working well in cedar and offering great value. However, they receive mixed feedback regarding their strength – while some say they hold well once installed, others report they break easily. Moreover, customers report issues with head stripping, softness, and bendability, noting that heads strip easily, they are extremely soft, and bend too easily.

Good Screws
Very good screws. A little thinner than other #10 screws but zero stripping or bending for several hundred feet of deck. good price. They could be more clear about what grade – the product description indicates 305, 318, and 316. They can only be one. As long as better than 304 which I will know in about 6 years.

Good quality
I purchased a box and they are good quality. The material is a little soft. They don’t bend but it is very easy to strip the head, especially if you need to remove.

ZERO Broke or Stripped
Made the mistake of using cheap Chinese screws when building my cart. Put it together and I think all stripped, 2 broke. Took hours to get them out, By the time I sanded / stained – finished and painted all my pieces these stainless screws came. Just feeling them I could tell I was going to purchase more. In my opinion definitely reusable on a build such as mine. Drilled and counter sunk holes should not strip and break screws in poplar. Yes I would recommend buying these screws. 1 stripped on my entire project. My fault, was leaning over left handed. More than likely not straight. ALL others can be taken out and reused like back in the day…… Oh, square head a plus

Great screw at an amazing price!
This item was purchased as part of a fence project. We were installing ¾â white cedar horizontal slats into 4×4 pressure treated posts that had been previously set. We opted for the stainless steel as it looks great with the white cedar, and wonât deteriorate over time in the pressure treated posts.Pros:1. Square drive makes for easier installation than standard phillips or flat head.2. Stainless steel means no staining on fence boards or finish that will chip off.3. Price was far better than I could find locally for a similar product.Cons:1. Head seems a bit softer than traditional deck screw, sometimes rounding the square drive slightly2. I had to back a few screws out and noticed some developed a wobble when reinstalledFinal thoughts:In the end I used roughly 500 screws for attaching all of the fence boards. Using my impact gun and an appropriately sized bit I drove almost all without spinning or stripping. I think they are a bit weaker than a traditional steel deck screw (see cons), but for a fence project this never became an issue. If I hadnât found this supplier and product on Amazon I wouldnât have been able to use stainless on my fence project. The product is of good quality and installed without and hassle. I have already ordered additional screws from this seller for other projects.

Good but Not Great vs US made
These SS wood screws ( from China) were a much less expensive price than buying the same quantity and size screws at Lowe’s or HD. However, there is a difference in quality. The China screws had a much smaller head so they had less holding power on decking. Second, the China screws tended to bend/warp more when installing/removing the same screw multiple times. I’m not saying they’re bad screws because they’re not. Just understand that the cheaper price comes at some cost in quality.

Used for sauna backrest fasteners. No rust with these. Small head size.

Strong
I like these screws. They seem to be stronger than the 304 stainless screws I’ve purchased before.
