Hillman Fasteners 48311 10 x 3 in. Exterior Wood Screws

These seem "top shelf" exterior wood screws. First thing I like is that they come with a large bit for their "advance drive" (they state that it should take 33% less drive force for your drill... so it should extend your battery life. They definitely look coated to me, probably because they're for exterior use. I used them on a plank for my fence. It took no pre-drilling (as expected) and I expect them to last long - if you look at the photo, they have a "no pre-drill, bore-fast thread". Other features are the "no split twist shank" and the "countersinking blades" that should avoid wood splitting. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

These Power Pro Interior Wood Yellow Zinc Plated screws are very nice. We have been putting up a fence and used these in that project. You can definitely tell the difference in these and the other ones we used prior. I have a feeling these are going to last longer than the others. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
