Richelieu FTC17GO3812 PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General Construction

Richelieu FTC17GO3812 PWR DRIVE CST is a high-performance structural screw designed for general construction applications. Crafted from hardened steel, this screw exhibits exceptional tensile strength, torque, and shear capabilities that surpass standard lag screws. One of its standout features is the ability to eliminate the need for pre-drilling, significantly saving time on the job site. Equipped with sharp threads and a Type 17 tip, it minimizes wood splitting while the unique "U" thread reduces friction on the shank, allowing for lower driving torque and extended battery life for your tools. The oversized flat head, complete with nibs and under-head cutting serrations, ensures effortless countersinking and a clean finish in wood. With a T-40 firm-grip drive, the screw provides superior torque strength and remains securely attached to the bit, making it ideal for challenging work conditions. Certified under ICC/ESR-4558, the PWR DRIVE CST complies with both the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC) for structural integrity and corrosion resistance. Packaged in boxes of 125, this 3/8" screw is perfect for structural assembly and construction applications, making it the preferred choice for professionals seeking reliability and performance.

PWR DRIVE CST - General Construction Structural screw

The PWR DRIVE CST screw is made of hardened steel to provide a degree of high tensile strength, high torque, and super shear strength that a regular lag screw just cannot offer. This results in the instant advantage of not having to pre-drill, which is quite a time saver on the job site. The sharp threads and points bite quickly, a type 17 tip reduces wood splitting and a clearing thread, called the "U" thread, reduces the friction on the screw shank, for reduced driving torque and more importantly increased battery life for your tools. The PWR DRIVE CST has a wide flat head with nibs and under-head cutting serrations for easy countersinks and will embed in wood with an incomparable clean finish. This screw also has a T-40 firm-grip drive, that not only provides exceptional torque strength but allows the CST to stick to the bit, which is paramount when you work in less than ideal positions.

It is also worth mentioning that the PWR DRIVE CST is part of the ICC/ESR-4558 evaluation, which certifies CST as fully compliant with the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC), for both its structural properties and corrosion resistance. This is why all CST screws have head markings for easy job site inspections

For all these reasons, PWR DRIVE CST screws are a great replacement for lag screws and are the screws of choice for structural 'spec' applications.
