Richelieu FTC17GO387L PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General ConstructionRichelieu FTC17GO387L PWR DRIVE CST - General Construction Structural screw is engineered from hardened steel, providing exceptional tensile strength, high torque, and superior shear strength that surpasses traditional lag screws. This innovative design eliminates the need for pre-drilling, saving valuable time on the job site. The sharp threads and Type 17 tip create an efficient bite into wood while minimizing splitting, thanks to the unique "U" thread that reduces friction on the screw shank. This feature not only lowers driving torque but also enhances the battery life of your tools. The PWR DRIVE CST boasts a wide flat head with nibs and under-head cutting serrations for seamless countersinking, ensuring a clean finish when embedded in wood. Its T-40 firm-grip drive enhances torque strength and helps the screw stay attached to the bit, making it ideal for challenging working conditions. Compliant with ICC/ESR-4558 and the International Building Code (IBC), the PWR DRIVE CST is suitable for structural applications, with easy job site inspections made possible through the head markings. Packaged in boxes of 50, these screws are the perfect choice for structural assembly and construction projects, delivering reliability and performance that professionals trust.
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.
