Like their namesake, Doberman Deck Screws are hard-working. With a C1022 steel base, a zinc base coating, plus a triple-layered ceramic coating, they stand up to all decking and outdoor wood projects. K9® ceramic coating offers two benefits: extreme corrosion resistance and easy glide installation. We became a distributor for K9® Fasteners because we were happy to find a deck screw that out-performs the other so-called bestselling deck screws, yet doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. We search the market for the best products. Just because something is a bestseller, doesn’t mean it is the best product out there. We have 33,000+ fasteners & 1000+ tools and safety products at our fingertips. These all come from the most reputable sources in the industry. We do the research and the shopping so you don't have to. Let us tell you more about the Doberman Premium Deck Screw by K9® Fasteners.


When under torque, a sloppy-fitting bit pocket is vulnerable to stripping out or jumping out of a positive engagement with the bit driver resulting in surface damage, bloody fingers, or both. The K9® Fasteners Power Bit Pocket performance is the primary reason that all K9® fasteners are safer to use than competitors’ products.
Dobermans are also extremely smart. These K9® deck screws make your job installing them so incredibly easy and safe! Star drives generally support more torque than square drives and therefore, are safer because they prevent tool slippage. But K9® has added an extra smart safety feature to its star head. It has an anti-slip power pocket. And one more thing, the special design of the K9® Star makes removal of screws easier when needed.*
The K9® bit fit is precisely engineered to allow for one-handed installation of fasteners; freeing up the other hand to encourage three-point contact on a ladder. We can always use another hand!
The Doberman point bites fast and is perfect for attaching pressure treated lumber. Sawtooth threading takes over and keeps the install moving along. With this proficient installation, you don’t have to worry about wood splitting. The quick bite tip along with the serrated threads make them cut and install faster than the competition. The easy installation also saves a lot of stress on your tools and gives them added life.

Lightning Bolt is proud to be the sole distributor of K9 Fasteners® in Colorado. We find Doberman deck screws to beat out the other bestselling deck screws in corrosion resistance, easy glide installation, a star drive that really prevents cam out, and safety features to boot. We really like that Dobermans come with a T25 power bit and that the bit has a bit pocket for one-handed installation. Finally, we were really pleased to learn that K9® manufactures its fasteners in Taiwan.
