Start Clips - Universal Starter Deck Clips, Start Clips for Decking, Stainless Steel Deck Starter Clips with Decking Screws (36 Pack, Black)

I was in sticker shock at the price of Trex branded hardware! I am resurfacing a very large deck with Trex. When I totaled up the price of the Trex branded clips, fasteners and screws, I turned to YouTube and Amazon and found these clips and all the other hardware I needed at a fraction of the cost. Saved me hundreds of dollars and the quality is just as good as good as Trex branded hardware. I am a believer in Trex decking and willing to pay for that quality. But their hardware can be matched at a much better price.

Worked well for our deck project. Happy with them!

This is a knockoff of the Trex edge of deck fastener. The key difference is it's painted instead of given a oxide finish. Looks to resist rust better, but only time will tell. Not a 5 star offering as the Torx star included bit is a joke and all but unusable. Throw it away. If you don't already have a long shank T15 Torx bit, get one. Trex includes one in each bucket of hidden plastic fasteners. Others, I don't know. Enough screws and the bit will deteriorate, so maybe get more at your hardware store.

Great, I used them on some ends

Easy instillation, were hidden after installation and securely hold boards in place.
