Do It 758468 Exterior Star Drive Screw 5 Lb Box

Product Description

The DO IT 758468 is a gold exterior wood screw designed for outdoor fastening applications in decks, fencing, siding, and general exterior construction. The 6-lobed star drive head provides fast bit engagement and improved torque control compared to traditional Phillips or square drives. A countersinking bugle head seats flush with the surface, preventing head pop-out and leaving a clean finish. The screw features an extra coarse thread with a Type 17 point for aggressive wood penetration. A PrimeGuard Plus proprietary polymer coating protects against corrosion and moisture exposure in outdoor environments. Sold in a 5-pound box.

This exterior screw is suited for residential and light commercial outdoor construction. It is designed for use with pressure treated lumber, cedar, and redwood, as well as general exterior framing and finish applications. Typical install scenarios include deck boards, fence pickets and rails, exterior trim, and wood siding panels. Note that cedar and redwood have the possibility to streak or stain when used with any coated fastener. Stainless steel fasteners are strongly recommended for those wood species when appearance is a priority.

Compatibility

Designed for use on decks, fencing, siding, and general exterior wood construction projects. Suitable for pressure treated lumber, cedar, and redwood. For cedar and redwood applications where staining or streaking is a concern, stainless steel fasteners are recommended instead.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, general contractors, or experienced DIYers using a star drive bit matched to the 6-lobed head. Always use the correct bit size to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. For exterior applications involving pressure treated lumber, verify that the coating meets current preservative compatibility requirements. Package counts are approximate.
