Tan-coated bugle-head exterior deck screws from Midwest Fastener's Sabre Drive line. The XL1500 nano-ceramic coating is rated for 1,500 hours of ASTM B117 salt spray and is approved for ACQ pressure-treated lumber, making these screws a long-life option for decks, fences, and other outdoor framing.

• Diameter: #9
• Length: 3"
• Drive: Star (T-25) bugle head - resists cam-out and pulls boards flush
• Point: Type 17 self-starting auger point - no pre-drilling needed in most softwoods
• Thread: Serrated under-cut thread reduces splitting in dense or treated wood
• Material: Case-hardened carbon steel core
• Coating: XL1500 nano-ceramic, 1,500 hr ASTM B117 salt spray, ACQ-approved
• Color: Tan - blends with cedar and pressure-treated stock
• Quantity: Approximately 84 screws per 1 lb plastic tub

Tip: Drive screws perpendicular and just below the surface for a flush finish; don't over-torque or the Type 17 point can blow through the back side. For face-fastening 5/4 or 2x deck boards, 2-1/2" or 3" lengths reach into the joist without splitting.
