Do It 758420 Exterior Star Drive Wood Screw 1 Lb

Product Description

The DO IT 758420 is a 1-pound box of gold exterior wood screws designed for outdoor fastening applications in decks, fencing, siding, and general exterior construction. The 6-lobed star drive head delivers fast bit engagement and improved torque control, reducing cam-out during installation. A countersinking bugle head seats flush with the surface to prevent head pop-out and leave a clean finish. Each screw features an extra coarse thread and a Type 17 cutting point for efficient penetration into wood. The PrimeGuard Plus proprietary polymer coating provides corrosion resistance against moisture and outdoor exposure.

These exterior screws are suited for residential and light commercial exterior framing and finishing work. Common applications include deck boards, fence pickets, lap siding, and structural exterior sheathing. They are rated for use with pressure treated lumber, cedar, and redwood. Note: Cedar and redwood may streak or stain when used with coated fasteners of any type. For those wood species, stainless steel fasteners are strongly recommended. Package counts are approximate.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, general contractors, and experienced DIYers using a star drive bit matched to the screw head. Always pre-drill near board ends to prevent splitting, particularly in dense or treated lumber. Follow local building codes for fastener spacing and penetration depth on structural exterior applications. Do not use coated fasteners on cedar or redwood where surface staining is a concern.
