Here is a quick suggestion for when facing screws. Use zip lock bags and put approximately 500 faced screws in a bag, then just put the bags back in container. If container gets tipped over, screws are still contained and faced. Also easier to just grab a bag and place in your nail pouch, open bag and grab as required. Works extremely well for us.
We did a Timbertech deck. We have color matched screws sort of like that--can't say it was exactly this screw. We got dimpling of the board around the screw. I don't think it had the reverse thread.
just came to this video to see if im doing something wrong. same screws wont sink below surface and volcano the composite deck material around each screw head from the reverse threads. So pissed i spent the extra cash to have minimal showing hardware, and they absolutely destroy $40 boards. Each screw head shows a half inch dimple around them. It would have been nice having the color match screwheads, but a standard triple coated deck screws actually sink into the composite without leaving craters around the screwhead. wish i would have done a few test pieces prior to aquire the look youre able to achieve in the video. must be the material the boards are made from or the green treated lumber is too wet to get good grip.
If you ever need to remove the screw, there is a special way to do it. It has a counter groove, that you have to pay attention to, otherwise you'll strip the decking, if you don't remove it appropriately

Are these only for use on composite or can I use these for my redwood deck boards?

How do we avoid driving to far or too little? Sometimes i cannot back them out or force them in.
Looks great, Performs great BUT... What is the cost and where do you get them?

How do you get this type of screw out that is stripped and is almost flush with deck board? This has happened to me.
Can you use these screws on trex decking.

And that special way is? Having an issue with removing deck boards! Thanks!!
Can these be used on wood boards?
Can I use that screw with the Camo unit?
I might be wrong but I think stainless is more brittle than carbon, they are just stronger and probably better quality.
Boy, from here that looks like Coastline, not Dark Hickory.
BIIINNGG!
OCD - that was hilarious. LOL
Where I'm from you get 5 - 10 years for fingering screws...watch your step, bud.
