As far as non-staining, it really depends on what type of wood you are
screwing together. For example, galvanized can stain cedar and redwood
easily, but not so for SYP.
Square drive stainless steel are my favorite, will not stain anything i know
of, and are worth the extra few cents per screw. --dave

I've always used these screws for out door furniture with very good

building for a nephew. Local yards and the borg say these screws are
being
phased out in favor of a coated screw like GripRite. Question is are they
as
good or better for non-staining ?

IMHO, I doubt it, but what the heck, I'm a boat builder..

Why not go stainless?

They aren't that expensive.

Might want to take a look at Jamestown Distributors.
