Yeah they still make screw nails large enough for decking and framing,their even available in coils and strips for framing guns. I used them on my deck and eventually they started backing out and getting loose. Used screws to replace them. One deck I have is built on ground level and the joists and supports are from some treated lumber that's 40+ years old. Don't know what they treated it with back then but it will flat rust away the "lifetime coating" decking screws. Stuff now days seems to rot as soon as its installed.
