Richelieu FTC17GO38412 PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General Construction

Richelieu FTC17GO38412 PWR DRIVE CST is a high-performance structural screw designed for general construction applications. Crafted from hardened steel, this screw offers superior tensile strength, high torque, and remarkable shear strength, making it an excellent alternative to traditional lag screws. One of its standout features is the ability to drive without pre-drilling, significantly saving time on the job site. The PWR DRIVE CST screw is equipped with sharp threads and a Type 17 tip, minimizing wood splitting while the "U" thread reduces friction on the shank. This design not only decreases driving torque but also enhances battery life for your tools. With a wide flat head featuring nibs and under-head cutting serrations, this screw guarantees easy countersinking and a clean finish in wood. Additionally, the T-40 firm-grip drive ensures exceptional torque strength and reliable bit retention, a crucial advantage when working in tight or awkward positions. Certified as compliant with the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC) under ICC/ESR-4558, the PWR DRIVE CST is marked for easy job site inspections. Packaged in boxes of 250, this 3/8-inch screw is the ideal choice for structural assembly and construction applications, especially in lumber and treated wood.

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.
