Fastap Plus exterior grade carpentry screws with DuracoatXT and Power Point v3 were developed specifically for any outdoor project where rust and corrosion needs to be prevented. More cost effective than stainless steel (and with greater shear load capacity), they have been engineered to save time with an easy, labor saving one-step installation that will make any project look great and stay tight for a long time. And, our premium DuracoatXT coating far outlasts galvanized in real world applications and won't peel like ceramic coatings can.
Better Pull Out
Let's face it, today's wood materials have changed. Soft and high moisture content woods are now the norm instead of the exception and that can create problems for designers and installers. Our new Power Point v3 has been created to effectively deal with these types of materials and offers easy penetration with less possibility of spinout. Working together with Fastap Plus' drive threads, high pullout loads can be achieved even in soft and high moisture content (like treated) woods. Our Plus products, with Power Point v3, still work great in woods seasoned by years of use (like found in the average home remodel) without any pre-drilling or countersinking needed.
Plus products have great application coverage. Available in standard carpentry, Dock, HSF and Plus 10 configurations in root diameters of #8, #9 and #10 in lengths of 1¼" thru 6" with industry standard #2 and #3 Phillips or square drives for straight, secure driving dynamics.
Fastap offers a complete fastener lineup for any outdoor carpentry project. From cost effective DuracoatXT coated fasteners for wood and wood/poly composites to the ultimate corrosion protection of stainless steel, the Fastap lineup of exterior grade fasteners gives you more. More because Fastap exterior screw products are engineered to a higher standard. Engineered-in performance features like our self-countersinking Nib Head, large wire diameters for greater shear strength, industry standard deep Phillips and square drives for positive bit engagement, coarse drive threads for greater pull-out loads and patented Power Point Technology for time saving self-drilling even in woods seasoned rock hard by years of use, like in any home remodel, make them suitable for a larger range of woodworking applications. Stock less, with better application coverage.
Our Fastap Poly2 line of fasteners offers mushroom free self-drilling one-step installation for the most popular brands of composite materials and premium DuracoatXT corrosion protection, in popular colors, for long lasting good looks and strength. Utilizing Power Point Technology and our patented V-Roll head, Fastap Poly2 was the first fastener specifically created for wood/poly composites that offered a complete one-step mushroom free installation. No time consuming "finishing" steps are needed and our V-Roll head design seals surface moisture out for protection against rot of the supporting timbers. Great labor savings. Great time savings. Great tight fitting, long lasting construction.
XT For Under The Deck
One very important component to composite deck projects is what your composite fastener fastens the composite to. Under the deck, the new generation ACQ, CCA, CBA and CA treated materials demand a much better coated composite fastener than before. Fastap Poly2 with DuracoatXT has been engineered expressly for and is the best proven solution for these new treatments.
Simply said, Fastap Tech 7 carpentry screws have been engineered to be the best stainless steel fastener for wood there is. Designed around Fastap's quick and easy one-step installation philosophy, it is also the best stainless steel carpentry fastener value on the market today. For projects that require the no compromise corrosion protection of stainless, the better fit and finish of Power Point Technology and the shear value of a larger wire diameter, Tech 7 carpentry screws are the only choice. Tech 7 screws are completely self-drilling with Power Point Technology and self-countersinking with our Head with Nibs design. These features are the core of the Fastap labor saving installation concept. With an oversized flathead (10% more material), larger root diameter and 90,000 p.s.i. tensile strength J-1 stainless steel, they can be the proper fitment over a larger range of woodworking applications. Tech 7 screws install quickly and reliably without the aggravating head popping and head twist-off generally seen with other stainless steel products. Available in 7 sizes from 1¼" to 3¾" with traditional deep #2 square drive.
Fastap's quick and easy self-drilling one-step installation philosophy, as applied to Fastap Tech 7 Trimtite stainless steel finishing screws, revolutionized the finishing screw category. Tech 7 Trimtite screws have also become the de facto standard for high end redwood and cedar siding applications where compromise just isn't an option. With the unsurpassed corrosion protection of J-1 stainless steel, unequalled installation performance in any wood (saving time and labor) and coarse drive threads for better hold down, Trimtite screws are the only option for projects where the unobtrusive head diameter of a finishing screw, labor saving installation of Power Point Technology and the corrosion protection of stainless steel is needed. Available in 2", 2½", and 3" sizes, all in #8 diameters.

Value Through Quality Engineering
Fastap screw products created the coated woodworking exterior screw category over 20 years ago and has lead the way ever since with product features (most covered by U.S. patent) that have been conceived, engineered and implemented to save installation time and labor while helping create a nicer, better, longer lasting project. This quality commitment engineering means greater value and satisfaction for all Fastap users . . . pro and do-it-yourselfer alike.
Power Point Technology
Fastap's patented self-drilling Power Point Technology is now in its third generation. Continually refined over the years to better match the changing characteristics of available lumber, Power Point v3 exceeds the performance envelope of any other selfdrilling screw product available today. From hardwood to high moisture content softwoods, Power Point v3 offers real self-drilling capability with softwood pullout resistance superior to any other (so called) self-drilling screw product. Of course, self-drilling wouldn't be nearly as beneficial without our self-countersinking head designs that make installation of any Fastap screw product an easy, labor saving one-step process.
DuracoatXT For Full ACQ Compatibility
Our premium DuracoatXT finish makes all coated Fastap exterior screw products completely compatible with the new generation preservative treatments now on the market. Not all coated fasteners can truthfully make that claim. You get great corrosion resistance when used in the caustic ACQ, CCA, CBA and CA environments with a tough, impact resistant coating that won't peel or strip like ceramic coatings can. Independently tested to 40 Kesternich cycles and 3636 salt spray hours, DuracoatXT is the best Duracoat coating ever, making Fastap coated screw products a better value than ever before.
