I have recently moved and one of the jobs I had to do at the old house was to refurbish the two decks. When I built them ~15 yrs ago I used almost all screws. Most were from McFeelys but some were borg bought. After removing a fair number of them the difference was startling. The borg screws were in terrible shape - almost totally rusted - I could hardly extract them without breaking them off. Of course none were holding supporting structures. The McFeelys screws, except for the heads, had no rust at all and were in excellent shape. This re-enforced my basic belief that MF screws are worth the effort to order.
I used some ring shank nails in a few places & had to remove them. Boy do they work as advertised. They felt like they were cemented in place.
