Simpson #7 x 2-1/2 in. Collated Trim-Head Screw Sharp Point Type 305 Stainless Red 01 1000-Pack brings professional-grade fastening performance to wood deck board installation, docks, and boardwalks. Engineered by Simpson as part of the Quik Drive collated screw system, these trim-head fasteners are built for use with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive auto-feed screw driving system or attachment, delivering a low-profile, finished appearance on PVC and composite decking surfaces alongside high-level corrosion resistance for demanding outdoor environments.

Key Features

• Trim-style head - sits low and discreet on the decking surface, giving finished deck boards a clean, professional look with minimal visual interruption
• Type 305 stainless steel material and finish - provides high-level corrosion resistance, making these screws well suited for marine, waterfront, and high-exposure outdoor applications such as docks and boardwalks
• Curved collation strips - hold screws up and away from the work surface, so the Quik Drive tool moves and repositions more easily across the deck without snagging
• #2 square drive - delivers positive bit engagement and reduced cam-out during installation, keeping the fastening process efficient and consistent
• Box threads - designed to pull deck boards tight and hold securely in wood-to-wood fastening applications
• Sharp point - penetrates wood deck boards without pre-drilling, reducing installation steps and saving time on the job
• Driver bit included in each box - gets you working immediately; replacement bit model BIT2S is available separately when needed
• Red 01 color - one of 13 available colors matched to blend with most major PVC and composite decking manufacturers, helping fasteners disappear into the deck surface

Why This Product

• System-engineered for reliable performance - these screws are specifically designed for use with Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive attachments, and the patented curved collation is engineered to ensure problem-free system performance rather than generic compatibility
