deck screws are better than drywall screws, but there are better
screws out there. I get them at the cabinet shop supplier local to me,
but I bet you can find some on line....

I'm with you - I use deck screws, too. I don't consider them overkill.
I've never snapped the head off a deck screw but I can't say the same
about wood screws.

And when you want to back it out, it backs out.

n-line site that sells wide range of deck screws for the best price. Here i=

Define 'deck screws' . . .
I use - almost exclusively - SQUARE DRIVE Stainless Steel screws. Not only
for the boats & Marine applications, but for 'household' work, as well.
Occasionally I may use Bronze or brass - where there is a SPECIFIC reason -
again Square Drive.
For a consistent source I 'bite the bullet' on shipping and order from
McFeeley's.

Chris,
I know what RECEX screws are, however they are only available in a few
sizes. While LV may be 'pretty good about quality' but they are also
PRETTY GOOD about PRICES !!
The use of Stainless, predominantly, is that most of my work will see
the 'outside' at some point. In addition, there is moisture, in some
form, all around us - and in some areas bathroom, kitchen, etc.}more
then others. While it also reduces the requirement to have 'duplicates',
I also occasionally use 'Yellow Zinc' plated screws. Square drive, they
pass a '100 hour Salt Spray' test.
The change to 'Square Drive' {Yes - I know about Robertson - Canadian,
eh} is due to a more secure 'fit' and almost no 'cam-out'. The reason
for Stainless, or high corrosion resistance is that I HATE 'surprises'.
Like 'rust streaks' from UNDER the paint, down a wall, on the side of a
case that someone handles, etc. Plus I found a REASONABLE, reliable, and
in-depth source for quantities of 100 and up.
