#10 Exterior Deck Screws with T25 Star Drive, Type 17 Point and Tan Ruspert Coating in Seven Lengths
#10 exterior deck screws combine a fast-starting Type 17 point with serrated threads to reduce driving effort in hardwood, softwood and pressure-treated lumber. The T25 star drive transfers torque through six contact points to limit cam-out, while a double-countersunk flat head finishes cleanly at the wood surface.
A four-layer tan Ruspert coating resists rust, acid rain, UV exposure, humidity and temperature swings for decks, fences and pergolas. Seven lengths from 1-1/4 to 4 inches let you match the fastener to the project; the featured 3-inch option includes approximately 310 screws in a 5 lb box and a T25 bit.

A four-layer tan Ruspert coating is listed for 1,000-hour salt-spray performance and resistance to humidity, UV exposure, acid rain and changing temperatures.
