Good, But ask for a box

5 years ago
As of May, 2019, these were shipped in a little plastic bag, not the box like in my previous orders. I have trouble keeping track of all the different size/style/material screws I keep on hand, and at about $30 per hundred, the cost adds up quickly - I cannot imagine how to keep things organized in little, open plastic bags. If you want these in a box, you now have to request a box.

Obsolete drive

I wish they would upgrade these bronze screws to a Robertson/square drive. The old Frearson drive is increasingly uncommon and problematic.

These silicon bronze fasteners are the best in the world (that I've found) for boat building. They drive firmly, set tightly, and last years and years in the harshest marine environments. Much easier to work with than stainless.

Q: Which type of screw is better for attaching teak floorboards to white oak stringers , stainless steel or silicone bronze screws?

3 years ago
6 Answers

A: If the boat will be in a salt environment I would use the silicone bronze. If it's freshwater, then stainless steel would work though silicon bronze is better. I understand that if stainless fasteners are used in a salt environment and get covered so they don't have access to air they go through a corrosion like process. One disadvantage to silicon bronze is that it's generally not as strong as stainless steel so you have to be careful not to strip the threads or the Frearson recess when driving them. The Frearson recess (with a Frearson bit) is better combination than a Philips head with a Philips driver and I haven't had much difficulty using Frearson recess screws with the proper driver. My experience with wood combinations has been with attaching mahogany to either Sapele or Okoume plywood so I can't really comment on the wood combination (teak and white oak).

Q: what size driver does these screws take I ordered a 5 pack of DB000 frearson driver bits 1' H2 and they strip out the No 8 screw Do I have the wrong size driver

4 Answers

A: My experience. The bronze screws are quite soft compared to what we're used to. I used a steel screw of the same size to set the screw hole, removed the steel screw, and then inserted the bronze screw using a hand screwdriver. I also used some soap to lubricate the screw. Worth the extra effort for a nice clean finish on the gunwales of my canoe. ~mick

Q: The price you have listed for #8 x 2"" frearson bronze screws seems very high (92.66). Is this a misprint?

1 Answer

A: I see a price of $24.27 for 100 screws, or 24 cents each. Unfortunately, that price is not high for a high-quality bronze screw.
