What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these screws as the go-to choice for fastening into concrete, brick, and masonry. The star-shaped driver bit is frequently highlighted for eliminating bit slippage and enabling smooth installation with impact drills. Many appreciate that kits include both masonry drill bits and star driver bits, making the job convenient and complete. Reviewers consistently describe exceptional holding power and reliability across applications like securing wood, pegboards, and door frames. A small number report occasional screw breakage under high torque or improper drilling, though most consider these screws the best available option for masonry work.

Too weak for concrete - use 1/4 screws instead

Would Not Recommend

This review is for the Tapcon 3/16" x 3-1/4" screws. I found these too weak to secure 2x4's to foundation wall concrete. 5 of the 8 screws snapped before they were fully threaded into the predrilled hole. They snapped where the unthreaded shaft meets the thread. The hole was drilled deep enough and the dust removed with compressed air. I switched to the thicker Tapcan 1/4" x 3-1/4" screws, and 8 out of 8 screwed in fully without breaking. Conclusion: 3/16" is too thin for a 3-1/4" long s...

Did the job

Make sure the hole is big enough -used the right bit, but needed one with a different screw pattern to keep the heads from twisting off
