Ordered online and now they come monthly automatically. Store couldn’t assist

Edge screws were essential for installation on Ipe deck boards. I had a couple of screw heads twist off but overall I was happy with the screws.

Great simple easy to use system with their tool. Leaves a little bit of a burr at times in capped decking trhast calls attention to the screw holes in the side of the boards. Screws are not poinyed so they walk big time if you try to free hand without their tool or pre drilling

These worked great, I am a big fan of these fasteners.

This product worked as expected and demonstrated in the tutorial. At first I thought the gap/spacing was going to be to tight, but after the deck boards dried the spacing is just right.

Too easy. Used about 1,300. Star drive and screw heads never stripped. Self-drilling. Never split any boards.

Very Flimsy Not Worth The Money

Was really excited about the camo marksmen and these screws. Used on Batu hardwood. Let the screw do the work. They bore then drive tight. When the head breaks off and jams the jig between the boards, you will let loose some non Christian words. Full battery on driver is key. Pilot bit would help.

Occasional breakage of screw head in pre drilled holes . Driver quality excellent. Performs as advertised.

They go in great! A year or two later, they break. Warranty is worthless. Save your money.

I have been planning to update my deck for the past 6 months and did a lot of research about which products to use. I finally settled on CAMO and couldn't be happier. It's a fantastic product and was so easy to use. I used it to install my new IPE deck and the finished result is awesome. The entire process was so easy even my 7 year old daughter was able to help. Also, I am a big online review guy and checked countless reviews before finally deciding to use CAMO. One of the reviews for this product appears to be a bit confused so I suggest discounting it like I did. The reviewer seems to think all the tips of the screws were missing from his product. That is how they are supposed to be. None of the CAMO screws should have points because they have an auger tip, so the missing screw points is really nothing to worry about. The screws work fine just how they are with a flat tip. So BeachChef...you might want to actually read about the product you are using prior to rating it.

What a poor quality screw ! I even predrilled my holes like the instructions recommended. Tap Ease screws are better quality for about the same price. Not sold @ home dep.

This product had no point on it. Every single screw was defective. Obviously quality control was on a serious break when these were supposed to be inspected. I ordered these specially for a project I was doing near salt water. I delayed my project for several days until the screws showed up. A basic operation of putting points on the screws was not done and the screws were junk. I have since returned the screws and gotten my money back. An extreme waste of time and money.

So far this product has proved to be a good investment. I have used about two thirds of the screws. They work well with the Camo jig they were meant for. Following the instructions that come with the jig there is no problem getting the screws to seat into the deck boards. The screws are self taping so there is no need for predrilling. There is one problem I have encountered. If one makes a mistake it's hard to remove the screws as they have a tendency to strip out in the deck board . As I am a novice with installing deck boards I learned the hard way that using a drill motor to remove the screws leads to stripping the screws. I now use a ratchet with the driver that comes with the screws and back them out slowly. It sounds like I have to do this often but not so. I've only had to remove about 10 screws and that's because of my inexperience. A word of caution. The Camo jig has 2 tabs underneath which act as spacers and hold the jig in place and provide equal spacing between boards. As I can't seem to find perfectly straight boards I secure the ends of each board as I install them and then usually I have to drive in wedges between the new board and existing board to separate the 2 boards enough to get the jig's tabs into place. Without the Camo jig the screws don't seem to have much purpose. This system is fast once one gets used to the set up.

I bought the product primarily because of the supposed marine grade stainless steel. We've had a beachfront house for ten years and the environment is extraordinarily corrosive. The system was simple and neat, the look is very nice.... but how will it handle those conditions over time will determine it's value.

Screws were consistent and all performed their job as expected. Needed the stainless for western red cedar deck.

Actually used these on a tongue and groove floor for a 100+ year old porch replacement. I wanted a stainless product that I didn't have to predrill each hole for, and this worked perfectly. Did a great job. Not the first split in the wood. My contractor had not used them before and was astonished with the results.
