Each screw measures 3 inches in length and is sized No. 10, featuring a self-drilling point that eliminates the need for a pilot hole in most applications. The star drive head provides positive bit engagement and reduces cam-out during installation. A knurled shank section under the head reduces the risk of wood splitting, making these screws well-suited for decking, fencing, trim, and other exterior structural or finish work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese screws are intended for exterior wood-to-wood fastening in residential and light commercial settings. The stainless steel construction makes them appropriate for treated lumber, cedar, redwood, and other materials prone to reacting with standard zinc or galvanized fasteners. Typical applications include deck boards, fascia, railings, siding, and outdoor furniture assembly. The self-drilling Borefast thread design speeds up installation in softwoods and composite materials without pre-drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSelf-drilling point eliminates pilot hole requirement in most wood substrates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStar drive head reduces cam-out and improves torque transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKnurled section beneath the head minimizes wood splitting on entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists corrosion in exterior and treated-lumber environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBorefast thread pattern designed for secure holding in softwood and composite materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBacked by a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and general-use exterior screw compatible with standard No. 10 star drive bit installations in wood framing, decking, and exterior finish applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed with a star drive (T-star) bit; confirm bit size matches the drive recess before fastening to avoid stripping. When fastening into hardwoods or dense composites, pre-drilling may still be recommended despite the self-drilling point. Follow applicable local building codes, including IRC deck-fastening requirements, when using these screws in structural applications. Avoid mixing stainless fasteners with dissimilar metals in wet environments to prevent galvanic corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Star (T-star)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Self-drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Borefast\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25 screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lifetime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 42499\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HILLMAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51562831053106,"sku":"42499","price":76.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/db0a1052709c12510fc80d2a17e90ca9_965060d2-6a8e-42c8-b6b0-4af55c409528.jpg?v=1786485335","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hillman-fasteners-42499-stainless-steel-exterior-screws-3in-10-25pk","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
