I have difficulty interpreting the wording in the advertisement but I do believe these will do the trick very well. I also believe in your choice of heads. I use star drives a lot.

I use flathead, slotted screws only when doing a recovery construction that used them initially.

Ditto, I won't tell you how long I stared at the wording before I got them. I kept trying to figure out if I wanted them or not.

Was that due to the statement "For use on any non-structural construction project"? Only means they MAY not meet cross sectional area or have been vendor tested and certified by manufacturer to be in compliance with building code requirements. I would not hesitate to use them for any project.

"For use on any non-structural construction project" if read literally says to not use on "Structural Projects". Now I seldom read these sorts of instructions so I do not know just how many times I have done just what they tell me not to do.

Well, I guess it all boils down to how well we accept instructions and warnings 'cause I am with you. I would not hesitate to use these screws on anything that I build (is that the same as construct?).

I see most of these warnings and guide lines as protection from lawsuits when accidents happen and not for my protestion.

I agree, it's like the warning on boxes of lye, do not take internally. They should leave many of the warnings off for "the thinning of the heard" lol

Indeed WHY are we going against 'natural selection'?
