What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these lag screws for exceptional holding power and reliability in demanding wood-to-wood applications. Reviewers consistently highlight the Torx head design for preventing stripping and enabling high torque without slippage, with many emphasizing that an impact driver and T27 or larger bit make installation fast and easy. The aggressive threads bite securely into dense wood, even under extreme conditions. Most note that pre-drilling is necessary for optimal results, particularly in pressure-treated or hard wood, to prevent splitting. A few experienced issues with inadequate tools or technique, though these appear user-related rather than product defects. Overall, customers trust these screws for critical structural uses.

Pilot hole needed.

Would Recommend

This round head lag screw has a large diameter head which is good for clamping but causes a problem. My driver extension has a non-rotating sleeve for guiding the screw and driver extension. The sleeve would not go over the large diameter head on this screw. This caused a lot of wobble and the screw was difficult to start into the wood. I would definitely drill a pilot hole the next time I use this screw. I just did the install so cannot comment on the corrosion resistance yet.

Works great. Just make sure you have a long enough drill bit to pre-drill the hole.
