Do It 758482 Exterior Star Drive Screw 5 Lb Box

Product Description

The DO IT 758482 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 standard Phillips or square drives. A countersinking bugle head seats flush without leaving raised heads or requiring additional finishing. The screw features an extra coarse thread and a Type 17 self-drilling point for efficient penetration into wood. A PrimeGuard Plus polymer coating guards against corrosion from moisture and environmental exposure, making this fastener well suited for exterior conditions.

This screw is intended for use in residential and light commercial exterior projects. Common applications include deck framing and decking boards, fence construction, and siding installation. It is rated for use with pressure treated lumber and is also compatible with cedar and redwood, though those species carry a risk of streaking or staining when used with any coated fastener. For cedar and redwood applications where staining is a concern, stainless steel fasteners are strongly recommended. This product is sold in a 5-pound box with approximate package counts.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, general contractors, or experienced DIYers using a star drive bit matched to the screw head. Power down any adjacent electrical before working near utility runs on exterior walls. Drive screws to flush or slightly below the surface to avoid raised heads without overdriving and stripping the drive recess. Follow applicable building codes for deck and exterior fastener spacing and penetration depth requirements.
