AHHHHHHHHHHHGHHGHGHGHGHHHHHH...... (primal scream)....

OK, so I'm fixing the deck today and I got a box of these GD SS
screws. $14/lb..... and I must have stripped out the heads of 6-7
already....

POS..... gimme Torx or SOMETHING.....

Are you predrilling your holes? I never put a stainless (or any other) screw
into anything but soft pine without predrilling. Saves a lot of stripped screws
and aggravation.
