They are terrible, I bought two boxes of these awhile ago into brand new plywood and pine 2x4 half of them wouldn't drive, I had to predrill 100s of holes. Grk not a single problem.
IMO, they work really well. When you screw them in, they almost always instantly "catch" the wood fibers and immediately start screwing in. I never have an issue with the screws walking or breaking either. I think they screw in just a hair better than GRK's, but the difference is so minor and could just be my imagination..
However, I hate that Spax uses torx t20 bits. I swear those size bits last like half the life of the bigger t25 bits which GRK uses. But that's a minor gripe for a really good screw. I'd still pick up a bunch of boxes, if they are on clearance. Anyway, just my 2 cents.
don't remotely compare with grk. everything negative I said about spax is what grk does great. with that said, if I don't need any specific load qualities I have a a few hundred pounds of deck plus, or whatever lowes carries, screws from previous deals that were pennies on the dollar, and have almost exclusively gone to them, but I do pre drill everything with them. I also don't put any fastener in shear.
I imagine the spax screws will compete within 25% of the deck screws and grk, if you have luck with them driving/ not stripping out, etc.

Though if you want the absolute WORST screw, try Deckmate screws. Sweet Jesus they are terrible. used them on a fence and 80% of the screws broke in a year. Replaced them all with GRK screws and zero have broke (been about 2 years).

I built my entire 539sq ft deck with deckmate screws and not a single issue except one had a boogered head that was unusable. 3 years later, still holding up fine. Deck screws are what I use for anything requiring 3" or more screws. My spax are either 1 1/4, 2 or 2 1/2. GRK, same as spax.

The #6 screws use a different size bit compared to the #8 and #10 screws.

They're not GRK but I found them to be close / comparable. The torx drive and self tapping alone makes this a deal if you can find it.
But yes, I would much rather drive GRK any day.
