Richelieu FTC17GO386MR PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General ConstructionRichelieu FTC17GO386MR PWR DRIVE CST is an exceptional structural screw designed for general construction applications. Crafted from hardened steel, this screw delivers remarkable tensile strength, high torque, and superior shear strength that outperforms conventional lag screws. A standout feature is its ability to eliminate the need for pre-drilling, significantly saving time on the job site. The sharp threads and Type 17 tip enable quick biting into wood while minimizing the risk of splitting. Engineered with a unique "U" thread, this screw reduces friction on the shank, leading to decreased driving torque and extended battery life for your tools. The oversized flat head, complete with nibs and under-head cutting serrations, allows for seamless countersinking and delivers a clean finish when embedded in wood. The T-40 firm-grip drive enhances torque strength and ensures the screw stays attached to the bit, making it ideal for challenging work environments. Moreover, the PWR DRIVE CST is ICC/ESR-4558 certified, confirming compliance with the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC), ensuring both its structural integrity and corrosion resistance. Packaged in a blister of 10 units, this screw is the go-to choice for structural assembly and construction applications, making it a smart replacement for lag screws.
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.
