Yes. The GDSK1 screws are steel with a yellow zinc dichromate coating, and Metallics lists weather wood as a field application along with electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work. Yellow zinc dichromate is a coated finish for general exterior and treated-lumber duty, not a stainless screw, so for coastal or constantly wet service you would step up to stainless.

No. The GDSK1 kit is flagged not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. If your contract carries a domestic-sourcing clause, this kit will not satisfy it.

A Phillips bit. All screws in the kit are bugle head with a Phillips drive, so one driver covers every size in the tray. The bugle head self-countersinks into wood, which is why you do not need to pre-countersink for a flush finish.

The tray measures 11 inches long by 7.25 inches wide by 1.75 inches high and weighs 1.99 lbs loaded with all 300 screws. That is a flat compartment box sized to slide into a van drawer or a tote, and it ships as a tray pack.

Metallics lists the GDS kit for electrical, plumbing, and heating and air conditioning work as well as weather wood. The #6 x 1 through #6 x 2 sizes cover mounting boxes, straps, plates, and cleats to wood; the #8 x 2-1/2 and #8 x 3 handle framing and blocking. It is a general wood-fastening assortment for a service truck, not a deck-only product.

No, the minimum order on the GDSK1 is one each, so a single tray is a valid order. Each tray holds the full 300-piece assortment.

They are UNC coarse thread steel screws with bugle heads, which is the thread you want biting into softwood framing and deck boards. There is no machine-thread or fine-thread option in the tray.
