2.0 out of 5 stars Gladiator's poorest product, July 12, 2010

I can't imaging doing what a previous reviewer suggested - drilling pilot holes and hand-screwing these screws. Maybe it's OK if you're doing a few pieces of GearTrack, but my installation was over 40 GearWall panels (over 1000 screws), and I would have gone insane had I used these. Not to mention the prohibitive cost (especially for a poorly made screw).

For anyone doing a large installation, do yourself a favor and buy some Headcote square-drive screws. The downside is that they don't have a matching head color (I used the standard gray head), but they go in like butter, and you never have to worry about pre-drilling or stripping. Because they are square-head, very little pressure is required to drive these screws - you can drive hundreds without getting tired (assuming you're using a cordless driver). Once you go square-head, you'll never buy a Phillips again.

Gladiator would be doing their customers a HUGE service by contracting with the Headcote manufacturer to make their #8 x 2" square-head screws in the GearWall color, so that we could buy a quality screw either from Gladiator or from 3rd party distributors.

These aren't the exact ones to use, but you can see the quality from the picture:
Ipe Decking-2-1/4" Brown Headcote screws

Bottom line - I'll live with the gray heads... after all, most of them are covered with gear!

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible - Instant-Strip-Screws, July 26, 2009

These screws are made of aluminum which means that they will not rust. Unfortunately, the aluminum is so soft that they can not be used. I tried several screws and they all stripped when I used my drill. This is bad for two reasons

1 - They will strip before you can get them flush

2 - They are difficult to remove once they are 1/2 into the stud

Final Verdict -I had to return them back to the store. Do yourself a favor and just buy regular (and cheaper)
wood screws.

These screws are awful. They will not sink flush with the track. They strip very easily. You can do what the second review said and take a lot more time is needed. Or you can buy regular 2 inch dry wall screws and have a much easier time. I like the way the dark screws contrast with the white tracks. To sum up this review, DO NOT BUY THESE SCREWS.
