Type 17 point technology features a self-drilling tip that eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most wood types and man-made materials. This advanced design prevents splitting, reduces installation time, creates precise holes, and provides superior thread engagement. The result is faster installation with professional results and reduced material waste from splitting.

Yellow zinc coating provides approximately 100+ hours of salt spray resistance to 10% red rust, offering superior corrosion protection compared to uncoated steel. This translates to years of reliable performance in typical construction environments, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications where moisture exposure is a concern.

3-1/2" screws are ideal for most standard framing applications including 2x4 and 2x6 lumber connections, subfloor installation, and structural member attachments. This length provides excellent penetration and holding power while meeting most building code requirements. For specific applications, verify length requirements with local building codes and project specifications.

Phillips head screws work with standard Phillips drivers available in most tool collections. For best results, use a quality Phillips bit that matches the screw head size, maintain proper alignment to prevent cam-out, and use appropriate torque settings. Impact drivers or drill/drivers work well, but avoid over-torquing which can strip the head or damage the screw.

Yes, the yellow zinc coating provides good corrosion resistance for outdoor applications including decking, fencing, and outdoor structures. The coating offers protection against moisture, humidity, and typical weather exposure. For maximum longevity in harsh coastal or high-moisture environments, consider upgrading to stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized fasteners.

Screw quantity depends on project scope and application. For framing, plan 2-3 screws per connection point. Decking typically requires 2 screws per joist intersection. A typical room addition might need 200-500 screws, while a full house frame could require 1000+ screws. Our 100-piece boxes handle most residential projects, while bulk options serve larger commercial applications.
