Bobibbi #8 x 1-1/2 Deck Screws, T25 Star Drive 🛠️

This pack of deck screws from Bobibbi includes approximately 5 pounds of #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws and a complimentary T25 Star Torx bit, making it practical for decking and outdoor wood projects. The screws are designed to resist corrosion for use in damp, rainy, or coastal environments, and they aim to simplify fastening without pre-drilling on many soft and treated woods.

Key Points

The box contains about 5 pounds of screws, roughly 828 pieces, stored in a reusable green PP plastic bag for easier handling and storage. The screws use an American standard T25 Star Torx drive which helps reduce cam-out and speeds up installation with compatible drivers. According to the manufacturer, the spiral thread and type 17 point allow direct driving into wood without pre-drilling in many cases. A free T25 bit is included to get you started right away. 🛠️

Usage Recommendations

These screws are suited for deck and railing assembly, exterior trim, and general wood maintenance where corrosion resistance matters. Use a T25 driver for best results and moderate torque to avoid overdriving the head. For very dense hardwoods or load-bearing structural connections, consider pilot holes or screws specifically rated for those conditions, as direct driving may be less effective depending on the timber species and density. 🔧

Positive Aspects

The combination of heat-treated carbon steel and a ceramic green coating offers durability and visual blending with many decking materials. The six ribs under the screw head are intended to allow the head to sit cleaner against the workpiece. Packaging in a resealable food-grade PP bag helps keep loose fasteners contained on the jobsite or in storage. Note that while the manufacturer states good corrosion resistance, environments with extreme exposure to salt spray can still accelerate wear, so periodic inspection is advisable. 🌲
