Hillman Fasteners 42593 Tan Deck Screws 2.5in No.10 40PK

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 42593 is a 40-pack of Deck Plus tan ceramic exterior screws designed for outdoor structural and decking applications. Each screw measures 2.5 inches in length at a No. 10 diameter with a self-drilling cut point that eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most wood decking installations. The tan ceramic coating is engineered to resist corrosion, passing a 1500-hour salt spray test and backed by a lifetime warranty. The coarse, serrated thread pattern drives securely into decking boards and framing lumber, reducing surface splitting. A star drive recess provides positive bit engagement and reduces cam-out during installation.

These screws are suited for exterior wood decking, fencing, and general outdoor structural fastening where corrosion resistance and color-matched appearance are priorities. The tan finish blends with common pressure-treated and composite decking materials. The self-drilling point makes them practical for production-pace deck builds where speed and consistency matter. Ideal for use by contractors, carpenters, and experienced DIYers working on residential and light commercial exterior projects.

Key Features

• Tan ceramic coating rated to 1500-hour salt spray corrosion resistance

Compatibility

Designed for use in exterior wood decking, fencing, and structural lumber applications where a No. 10 coarse-thread exterior screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters and general contractors using a star drive bit and a variable-speed power driver or drill. Always set driver clutch or use a dimpler bit to avoid overdriving and surface damage. Follow applicable building codes for fastener spacing and edge distance on deck framing and decking boards. Store unused fasteners in a dry location to preserve the ceramic coating prior to use.
