Hillman Fasteners 42589 Deck Plus Exterior Screws 25 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 42589 is a 25-pack of Deck Plus Green Ceramic exterior screws designed for outdoor fastening applications in wood decking, fencing, and structural assemblies. Each screw measures 3.5 inches in length at a No. 10 diameter and features a self-drilling cut point that eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most applications. The green ceramic coating is engineered to resist corrosion, rated to withstand 1,500 hours of salt spray testing. A coarse, serrated thread pattern provides strong bite and pull-through resistance in dimensional lumber and composite decking materials. These screws are backed by a lifetime warranty and are a go-to choice for contractors and serious DIYers working on exterior wood projects.

These screws are suited for residential and light commercial exterior wood construction, including deck building, pergolas, fences, and treated-lumber framing. The self-drilling cut point reduces splitting on deck boards and speeds up installation on the job site. The star drive recess provides positive bit engagement and reduces cam-out during high-torque driving, making them well suited for drill-driver or impact-driver use. The green ceramic finish is compatible with ACQ and other pressure-treated lumber chemistries commonly used in modern exterior construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a star-tip driver bit using a drill-driver or impact driver set to an appropriate torque or clutch setting to avoid overdriving. For hardwoods or dense treated lumber, piloting may still be recommended to prevent splitting near board edges. Follow local building codes and deck construction standards regarding fastener spacing and pull-through requirements. Store unused fasteners in a dry location to preserve the ceramic coating prior to installation.
