LIONMAX #10 x 3-Inch Deck Screws, 300-Pack, Tan, Torx Drive

For outdoor woodwork, the right fastener needs to suit both the material and the exposure. These LIONMAX deck screws are sized #10 x 3 inches and have a tan exterior coating.

The pack includes 300 screws and a T25 star-drive bit, making it a practical format for a deck, fence, or framing project that calls for this size.

Their coarse thread and self-tapping point are intended for wood installation. Buyer feedback is mixed on how easily the screws get started and whether the drive stays engaged, so careful alignment matters.

Usage tips

Use these screws where a #10 x 3-inch wood fastener is appropriate, such as outdoor deck, fence, or frame work. The listing describes a coarse thread and self-tapping point for wood, it also says predrilling is not required. Actual installation can still depend on the wood and the project, so start each screw straight and keep the T25 bit fully seated in the star drive.

The smooth shank is designed to make the screw easier to pick up and hold without handling sharp threads. The partially threaded design leaves part of the shank smooth, a detail to consider when matching the fastener to the assembly. The tan finish may also be a more discreet fit on wood where that color suits the project.

Why it makes sense

Compared with a Phillips-drive approach, the Torx-style head has six contact points and is described as helping reduce stripping and cam-out. That drive style, together with the included T25 bit, is useful for someone assembling multiple fasteners with a compatible driver. The pack size also means there are 300 screws on hand for a project that uses this exact dimension.

The screws are made from carbon steel and have a tan exterior epoxy coating described as rust resistant. The product listing reports a 1,500-hour salt-spray test, treat that as the manufacturer’s stated coating information, not a guarantee for every installation or environment. Buyers often praise the coating and the included bit, while comments on ease of use and grip are not entirely consistent.

A solid pick if your plans call for #10 x 3-inch screws with a star drive for outdoor wood construction. It’s not for you if the project specifies another fastener size or drive type.

What to know

This is a specific-size fastener, not a general-purpose assortment: the stated size is #10 x 3 inches, and the finish is tan. Check those details against the project before choosing, especially if the build calls for a different length or a different appearance. The 300-piece quantity and included T25 bit are clearly stated, but no other driver bits or project materials are listed.

The buyer feedback is broadly favorable about how the screws hold and about corrosion resistance, but some buyers report difficulty getting them started or slipping during installation. That mixed feedback makes a steady start and a well-seated bit worthwhile, it also means installation ease should not be assumed to be the same for every user or piece of wood.

Practical questions

How many screws are included? The package contains 300 LIONMAX deck screws.

What bit do they use? They have a Torx/star drive, and a T25 star-drive bit is included.

What projects are they intended for? The listing identifies outdoor wood construction, including decks, frames, and fences. Their stated size is #10 x 3 inches, so match that to the fastener requirements of your project.

Final verdict

These screws make the most sense when the project needs this particular size, a tan finish, and a star-drive head for outdoor woodwork. The included bit and 300-piece pack are useful specifics, while the mixed reports about starting and drive grip are worth weighing if consistent, easy installation is your main priority.
