Massive clearance on all Spax screws and lag bolts. According to the associate there was a company buyout and Home Depot is changing their stock.
All of the $60 boxes were 15 and all of the $15-20 boxes were $3-5; also all of the expensive Lag Bolts ($3-5) were down to 30 to 80 cents.

IMO, the Spax screws are the best that HD has. It would be a shame if they were replaced with a lesser quality lineup. Does Lowe's carry Spax?

They've already been replaced by a brand I've never heard of before. Started happening in Orange county, CA 2 -3 months ago. They went to Lowe's

At my local store (Raleigh), all Spax items (boxes, blister packs and bolts) were marked down to $1 yellow tag. I bought out most of what they had.
My friend went to another store and it was all regular price. Weird.

Some of the super lugs are coming up as $0.01 at checkout! Picked up 36 for $0.36. Some of the MDF screws aren't even in the system so they gave them to me for free (at least in the 21078 area)

I used to use GRK screws but started using SPAX about 10 years ago. They are vastly superior to GRK. In all that time, I have driven well over a thousand screws. Not one stripped, and I never had to predrill a hole. Once in a while, I would get one that one split the wood, but it was most likely due to some prestress in the wood and not the screw. The SPAX bits do suck. They seem to last just long enough to finish a box.

I went to 4 Home Depot stores in the Tacoma WA area today, 2 of them had almost empty Spax shelves with clearance tags, 1 had no Spax at all, and 1 had a full bay of Spax at full price. I managed to pick up a few boxes for a great price, though most of what was left were 5 & 6 inch bolts... great price, but it might be a while before I need bolts that large Stick Out Tongue

Another vote for GRK. Spax are okay, but if you care about finer work just realize the angle on the countersink on these is European, not US standard (the angle is different, I forget the numbers). This won't be an issue for many people, but they won't actually sit flush in the countersink unless you use a European countersink, and those are really hard to come by here. I did have more issues with Spax having misshapen heads where the bit wouldn't fit correctly too, but that was maybe 3 out of 100. Either way GRK have been a bulletproof alternative for me.

I looked it up. US wood screws (imperial) have an 82 degree countersink bevel. Almost all of the countersink bits you can buy in the US are imperial. Spax screws are 90 degree, which is the ISO standard, and is common outside of the US and Canada.

If you're doing woodworking or something, and use Spax, you better get the 90 degree countersink bit somewhere. Because they won't be supported correctly with a standard countersink bit and will cause issues, especially in harder woods. For pine it probably doesn't matter, but you'll have to overdrive them to get them seated properly, so they won't be flush and splitting is a potential issue.
