Richelieu FTC17GO3810B PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General ConstructionRichelieu FTC17GO3810B PWR DRIVE CST - General Construction Structural screw delivers unmatched performance in structural applications. Crafted from hardened steel, this screw boasts exceptional tensile strength, high torque, and remarkable shear strength that outperforms standard lag screws. One of its standout features is the ability to eliminate pre-drilling, significantly saving time on the job site. The sharp threads and Type 17 tip minimize wood splitting, while the innovative "U" thread design reduces friction on the shank, enhancing driving efficiency and extending battery life for your tools. The PWR DRIVE CST is equipped with a wide oversized flat head featuring nibs and under-head cutting serrations, allowing for seamless countersinking and a pristine finish. With a T-40 firm-grip drive, it ensures superior torque strength and stays securely attached to your bit, which is essential for working in challenging positions. Certified by ICC/ESR-4558, the CST screw complies with the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC), ensuring both structural integrity and corrosion resistance. This makes it an ideal choice for structural assembly and construction applications. Packaged in bags of two units, the FTC17GO3810B is the perfect replacement for lag screws, trusted by professionals for demanding specifications.
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.
