FastenMaster TRIO Screws

FastenMaster says its new Trio deck screw is designed for use with softwood decking, such as pressure-treated material, cedar, and redwood. Among its features are a Torx drive system that reduces the likelihood of stripping during installation or removal, a tip that bores a pilot hole to reduce splitting, and an anti-corrosion coating that’s twice as effective as the coating on a standard deck screw and resists fading as well, the company says. The screws, available in 350-piece buckets, come with a guarantee good for the life of the deck. FastenMaster, 800.518.3569, fastenmaster.com
