Richelieu FTC17GO5166 PWR DRIVE CST - Structural Screw for General Construction

Richelieu FTC17GO5166 PWR DRIVE CST is a high-performance structural screw crafted from hardened steel, delivering exceptional tensile strength, torque, and shear resistance that far surpasses standard lag screws. This innovative design eliminates the need for pre-drilling, significantly enhancing efficiency on the job site. The screw features sharp threads and a type 17 tip that minimizes wood splitting, while its unique "U" thread reduces friction on the shank, lowering driving torque and maximizing battery life for your tools. The oversized flat head, equipped with under-head cutting serrations and nibs, ensures easy countersinking, resulting in a clean finish every time. Its T-40 firm-grip drive provides outstanding torque strength and a secure fit, making it especially useful in challenging work environments. Certified by ICC/ESR-4558, the PWR DRIVE CST screws comply with the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Residential Code (IRC), ensuring both structural integrity and corrosion resistance. Each screw is marked for easy job site inspections, reinforcing its reliability for structural applications. Packaged in boxes of 200, this 6-inch screw with a 5/16 size is ideal for structure assembly, making it the preferred choice for construction professionals seeking durability 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.
