Key Features

Built for Auto-Feed

This collated deck screw is made for the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive auto-feed screw driving system, which helps speed up repetitive decking work and keeps installation moving.

Low-Torque Drive

Low-torque threads help the screw drive more efficiently, which matters when you are running long rows of fasteners with an auto-feed tool and want less drag.

Exterior-Ready Coating

Quik Guard coating provides corrosion resistance for exterior decking and certain preservative-treated wood applications, so the fastener is suited to real outdoor use.

Overview

The Simpson Strong-Tie DSVT2S Deck-Drive DSV Wood Screw (Collated) is a #10 x 2 in. collated exterior wood screw made for wood-to-wood decking applications. This is a collated deck screw designed for fastening exterior deck boards and other wood-to-wood decking components. Model Number: DSVT2S. If you are using a Quik Drive auto-feed screw driving system and want faster installation with consistent countersinking, this is the kind of fastener that makes sense.

What matters here is how the screw is built for the job. The low-torque thread design helps the screw drive with less resistance, which is especially useful in repetitive decking work where tool efficiency and reduced strain add up over a full day. The high-low tip is designed for fast starts, so the screw bites quickly instead of skating around on the board surface. That saves time and helps keep placement cleaner on finish-facing deck boards.

The head design is just as important. Simpson Strong-Tie uses a rimmed flat head with nibs, also described as a ribbed or under-head nib design, to help the screw countersink cleanly. In practical terms, that means a more finished look at the deck surface without fighting the screw to get it seated. For visible deck work, that cleaner finish matters.

This screw is also built for modern decking materials and lumber behavior. The product copy notes that the shank is designed to withstand the swelling and shrinkage common with fast-growth lumber, and the threads are optimized for dimensional lumber. For exterior fastening, that is a real advantage because deck boards move with moisture and weather. You want a screw that is meant for that environment, not a generic wood screw doing a job it was never designed for.

For outdoor use, the Quik Guard coating is a key part of the package. It provides corrosion resistance for exterior applications and certain preservative-treated wood, and the product meets the performance requirements of AC257 exposure conditions 1 and 3. That makes this a more appropriate choice for deck building and exterior fastening than plain interior screws that will not hold up outdoors.

System fit is another reason to buy this exact fastener. The collated format is made for the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive auto-feed screw driving system, so this is aimed at installers who want speed and repeatability on larger decking jobs. The drive style is T25 6-lobe, which gives a more secure bit engagement than a basic Phillips style in high-volume driving. If you are building decks, handling exterior remodeling, or doing repetitive wood fastening where speed and clean finish both matter, this screw is built for that kind of work.

Pieces per Box

Fast Starts, Clean Deck Surface

On decking, a screw that starts fast and finishes clean saves time twice. You spend less time getting it started, and less time correcting proud or messy heads afterward.

• High-low tip is designed for quick starts in wood
• Rimmed flat head with nibs helps countersink for a cleaner finished appearance

Made for Repetitive Decking Work

The thread design is tuned for repeated driving in dimensional lumber, which is where this collated deck screw earns its keep. It is built to move through decking work efficiently instead of fighting the tool on every drive.

• Low-torque threads help reduce driving resistance
• Optimized for dimensional lumber and wood-to-wood fastening

Bulk Quantity for Larger Jobs

A 1,500-piece box makes more sense for contractors, deck builders, and serious remodelers than buying small packs that disappear halfway through the job. It is set up for volume work from the start.

• 1500 collated screws per box
• Tan finish blends better with many decking surfaces than bright metallic fasteners
