Each screw measures 2 inches in length and is sized No. 9 in diameter. The self-drilling point eliminates the need for a pilot hole in most applications, speeding up installation. A knurled shank section below the head helps prevent wood splitting during drive-down. The star drive recess provides positive bit engagement and reduces cam-out. These screws are rated to withstand 2000 hours of salt spray testing, making them appropriate for coastal and high-moisture environments. Sold in a pack of 35, this SKU is suited for deck, siding, trim, and general exterior wood fastening work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese screws are intended for exterior wood-to-wood and light composite fastening tasks in residential and light commercial construction. Typical applications include deck boards, exterior trim, fascia, fencing, and siding. The stainless steel construction makes them a preferred choice where pressure-treated lumber or consistent moisture exposure would cause carbon steel fasteners to corrode and stain the surrounding material. They are installed by carpenters, general contractors, and experienced DIYers using a star-tip driver bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-drilling point for fastening without pre-drilling in most wood substrates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStar drive recess reduces cam-out and improves torque transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnurled shank section reduces wood splitting during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction rated to 2000 hours of salt spray resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime warranty included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35 screws per pack for small-to-mid-scale exterior projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose exterior wood fastener suitable for use with pressure-treated lumber, cedar, redwood, and standard dimensional lumber in outdoor construction applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall with a star-tip driver bit sized to match the drive recess to avoid stripping. While the self-drilling point reduces the need for pilot holes, pre-drilling is recommended near board ends or in dense hardwoods to prevent splitting despite the knurled section. Follow local building codes for fastener spacing and penetration depth requirements on decks and structural applications. Stainless fasteners should not be mixed with dissimilar metals in direct contact to avoid galvanic corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScrew Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScrew Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Self Drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSalt Spray Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2000 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35 screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lifetime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HILLMAN FASTENERS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 42497\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HILLMAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51561672671538,"sku":"42497","price":76.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/db0a1052709c12510fc80d2a17e90ca9.jpg?v=1786467507","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hillman-fasteners-42497-stainless-exterior-screw-35-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
