Pro‑Fit 0297178 – #8 x 3 in. Gray Deck Screws (72 Count)
The Pro‑Fit 0297178 #8 x 3" Gray Deck Screws are engineered for dependable fastening in outdoor wood‑to‑wood construction. Featuring a durable gray weather‑resistant coating, these screws blend neatly with exterior materials while resisting corrosion and environmental wear. Their 3‑inch length and coarse thread profile provide enhanced holding strength, making them ideal for decking, fencing, framing, and general exterior carpentry.
Each screw incorporates a bugle head for smooth countersinking and a sharp point for fast starts with minimal splitting. The star‑drive (Torx) style enhances bit engagement and reduces cam‑out, allowing for cleaner, faster installation even in dense or treated wood. This 72‑count pack is perfect for repairs, small to medium projects, or touch‑up work on existing exterior builds.
