Itw Buildex 560155 No. 8 Steel Deck Screw 250 Pack

Product Description

The ITW BUILDEX 560155 is a No. 8 bugle head Phillips drive steel deck screw designed for wood deck construction and structural fastening applications. With an overall length of 2.5 inches and a No. 2 Phillips drive, this fastener is built for reliable pull-through resistance and flush seating in decking material. Manufactured from Grade 1018 steel, the bugle head profile distributes load across the surface without tearing the wood fiber, making it a dependable choice for residential and light commercial decking work. Each package contains 250 screws.

This deck screw is suited for attaching dimensional lumber decking boards to wood framing. The bugle head countersinks smoothly into softwood and composite-compatible wood substrates without the need for pre-drilling in most applications. Carpenters, general contractors, and experienced DIYers use this fastener for exterior wood deck installations where consistent drive depth and holding power are required. The No. 2 Phillips drive is compatible with standard drill drivers and impact drivers with the appropriate bit.
