I made the outdoor chair from Kreg's plans, using treated pine wood. Using a mild torque setting on my drill, these screws performed very well. I had no breakage with the screws.
With my last order of screws, I have only a few left.
I have to buy lots more for more outdoor projects. Kreg recommends that if you use these coarse threaded screws with the soft woods, you should do okay.
I had absolutely no problem with these screws.

I used these on a project for my boat.
Remember, stainless has significantly different mechanical properties than carbon steel. It is harder and won't rust, but it is more brittle, has less elongation and lower tensile strength.
Everything's a tradeoff. If you don't want a fastener that rusts, lower your torque and be gentle with stainless. This is why nuts and bolts on your car, airplane, etc. are not stainless; not for cost but for strength! Kreg is not producing an inferior produt, it's the nature of the material.

These are excellent for use with outdoor furniture made with cedar. They hold well if you keep the softness of the wood in mind. Since cedar varies a bit, better to try a lower torque setting with your drill/driver and increase it as needed for a tight joint.

Sorry to be the spoiler of this seemily excellent product, but I used these screws in 1 1/4" length, into red oak face frames for a large cabinet project and sheared the heads off of over half of the screws I experimented with. I did turn down the torque on my drill a little to no avail.
The break occured where the threads ended on the shaft of the screw.
I then experimented with the sample packets of screws I got when I bought the R3 jig and they worked great. I even advanced the torque higher and they still held up.
When it works, this is a remarkable joint. I will make a trip to get the 'regular' screws tomorrow and get back to finishing my project.
Somethings work and others don't. The story of my life......

Careful with the driving torque and use the fine threads if you are using these screws in very hard wood such as teak or ipe. Using the driver bit supplied with the Kreg jig and these high quality screws I have never had a slip but have broken a few off.

I had the same experience as Phil did above with the heads popping off of the fine thread screws. The screw was breaking right where the threads stop and the regular shaft continues up to the head. It happened first with my drill Makita Impact. I thought the first one might have been a bad apple so I tried a second screw and got the same result. I then assumed that the drill had too much torque so I tried putting a third in by hand and the head broke again. Keep in mind I was moving around and using a fresh pocket hole location each time so there was virgin material for each one of these attempts. I recently disassembled some casework in a friends kitchen to make way for a larger refrigerator and in the process found several of these screws used in the construction with broken heads. This made disassembly a little more like demolition instead. I really like the pocket hole jig and joint system. I use the coarse thread screws a lot during cabinet frame assembly and it holds really well but their fine thread screws seem to be hit and miss.

Good Holding Power, but heads round out.
The recommended 2.5" screws were good for joining ACQ (requires stainless fasteners) 2" x 4"s with pocket holes. None of the screws sheared off, but several rounded out with the #2 square drive. This occured more so than with other steel pocket screws I've used. They did screw into the wood effortlessly.
My only real complaint is the setting Kreg specifies for mounting the pocket hole jig. In soft ACQ wood, these screw will come out the other side of your joint. You either have to use shorter screws or back the pocket hole jig back an additional 3/8". I have never seen this in hardwood, but it is a concern in ACQ woods.
Overall they made a strong pocket joint with ACQ lumber.
