Rust resistance screws (not wood screws)

[datadiyer]

Hi all,
I want to get stainless steel screws (or similar corrosive resistant) for use with rawl/wall plugs, but not those sharp ones you can get get for timber i.e no pilot hole required or the screw right to the edge ones. Reason being (and correct me if i'm wrong), i'm not convinced such sharp screws would have the same effect on the nylon plugs (they would just screw away at the nylon instead of expanding the plug). So where can I get some decent screws for my purpose. They would just be for putting up guttering downpipes, fixing hose-pipe reel to wall etc. The Wickes/B&Q ones have poor reviews so looking for top branded ones
Many thanks in advance.

Ordinary woodscrews work with plastic plugs, no matter what they are made of.

Unless you have raided your granddads shed, you will not be using rawlplugs.

Thanks John,
No Gradads shed unfortunately, I know woodscrews have got sharper, so i'm presuming then it has no performance issues into nylon plugs (i.e
screwing away at the nylon instead of expanding the plug?).
Cheers.

Pointy screws and plugs have worked for a good few years now. Isn't that convincing enough?

Really? What are the ones on sale at merchants up and down the country?

Point taken Woody,
Proof is in the pudding, I am now a believer in pointy razor sharp screws and wall plugs.
Many thanks.

Welcome to the fold. Amen

Be careful using stainless steel screws if you've not used them much as they are very soft and the head will shear off quite easily. Use a normal drill driver rather than an impact. I have tried most brands and they are all similar with the shearing issue. Spax were about the best.
