## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The screws
*by J***S on July 12, 2024*

I love the screws quality, how easy they went troug metal and not fail on me, plus very good price for the money

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just what I ordered and needed
*by T***S on October 28, 2025*

The perfect fit for my little project. No over penetration and it went through the aluminum trim with ease. I was able to secure my rubber door molding with ease. I highly recommend this product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inexpensive, easy to drill, & they don't strip out
*by J***S on October 18, 2020*

I have a dog who is an escape artist and managed to CHEW apart & bend the METAL bars of our privacy fence (that was installed expressly to keep her in the yard) to escape for a brief but traumatic jaunt down the road, within a few days of the fence being up. Needless to say a new solution was necessary, so I purchased a large roll of heavy-duty pet proof door screening and these screws to anchor the screen to the bars of the fence, so she can't get her head through them to chew the gaps wider anymore. These screws did the trick perfectly and hold the mesh screen in place without ripping it. The self-tapping function worked as expected: no pilot holes were necessary, even into fairly sturdy hollow metal posts. They tightened down satisfactorily and seem to be doing the job just great. I am pleased that none of the screws stripped out or broke. I ended up purchasing 2 more bags so I can apply the same treatment to the other side of my fence for a dual layer of screen protection - just in case! I would recommend this for similar applications, as it is gentle enough to anchor more fragile/flexible materials down and strong enough to get a good bite into metal, without the need for pilot holes.
