Simpson #8 x 2 in. Collated Trim-Head Screw with Type-17 Point and Quik Guard Coating is a collated decking screw engineered specifically for use with Simpson Quik Drive auto-feed screw driving systems, making it a practical choice for high-volume deck board and fencing installations. The trim head design produces a clean, low-profile finish at the surface, while the Quik Guard coating delivers corrosion resistance suited to exterior and certain preservative-treated wood applications. Each box includes 2,000 screws and a driver bit, so crews can move efficiently from the moment the box is opened.

Key Features

• Trim head with nibs for easy countersinking - the nibs allow the head to seat flush without pre-drilling, delivering a clean, finished look on exposed deck boards
• Curved collation - designed to feed reliably through compatible Quik Drive auto-feed systems, reducing stops and keeping installation moving at pace
• Type-17 point - the self-drilling tip bores into wood cleanly, minimizing splitting and eliminating the need for a pilot hole in most applications
• Coarse threads - provide strong holding power in wood-to-wood fastening, keeping deck boards pulled tight and secure over time
• #2 undersized square drive - the undersized profile is optimized for use with auto-feed collated screw systems, reducing cam-out and improving drive control
• Quik Guard coating - provides corrosion resistance for exterior and certain preservative-treated wood applications, helping fasteners hold up in outdoor environments
• Driver bit included in each box - a #2 undersized square-drive bit is included (replacement bit model BIT2SU), so the right bit is always on hand without a separate purchase
• 2,000-count packaging - bulk quantity supports large decking or fencing projects, reducing the need for frequent reordering mid-job

Why This Product

• Built for auto-feed efficiency - curved collation and compatibility with the Simpson Quik Drive PRO200SG2, PRO250G2, and PRO300SG2 systems means these screws are purpose-built to work within a proven auto-feed ecosystem, reducing fatigue and increasing fastening speed on large decking projects
• Finish quality matters on visible surfaces - the trim head with nibs countersinks cleanly and sits low at the deck surface, making these screws a strong fit for PVC and composite deck board installations where a refined, fastener-flush appearance is expected
• Corrosion resistance without stainless pricing - the Quik Guard coating is formulated to hold up in exterior and certain preservative-treated wood environments, offering a practical level of weather protection for standard outdoor deck and fencing applications
• Everything needed is in the box - the included #2 undersized square-drive bit means the correct driver is immediately available, and the high-count packaging supports full project completion without interruption
