April 10, 2024 (press release) –

DSV Wood deck screws are innovatively designed for the rigors of preservative-treated decking and exterior wood-to-wood applications. They feature underhead nibs, making it easy to countersink into the board for a clean, streamlined appearance; a high-low threaded tip for easier driving; a special shank designed to withstand the swelling and shrinkage common to sawn lumber decking; and low-torque threads that allow for up to 35% more screws to be driven per charge.

The screws’ other key feature is a Quik Guard coating that provides corrosion resistance against exterior elements and certain wood treatments. The DSV lineup now includes a black coating option, alongside tan, red and gray, to blend with each project’s unique color needs.

“The new black DSV screw not only provides strength and durability but also adds a touch of aesthetics to outdoor living spaces, whether you're a professional builder or embarking on a DIY project, it’s the ideal choice for decking, fencing, outdoor furniture projects, pergolas and more,” said Eric Philip, Fasteners Product Manager for Simpson Strong-Tie.

Deck-Drive DSV Wood screws with the black Quik Guard coating come in #8 and #10 sizes and three lengths for hand-drive applications; #10 sizes are load-rated for shear, pull-through and withdrawal resistance. Multiple package sizes are available.
