Hot-dipped Galvanized Hex Lag Screw 1/4" X 2-1/2"

Hillman Hot-Dipped Galvanized Hex Lag Screw 1/4" x 2-1/2"

This Hillman hot-dipped galvanized hex lag screw, size 1/4" x 2-1/2", is one of the toughest, sturdiest fasteners for heavy-duty outdoor wood projects. The galvanized finish gives superior protection against weather, rust and corrosion, so it lasts longer than plain steel in exterior conditions. The coarse thread and gimlet point bite firmly into wood, and installing it in a pre-drilled hole helps prevent splitting or snapping. The external hex drive gives controlled traction with a socket or wrench, but it needs clearance above the fastener. It is ideal for retaining walls, deck frames and outdoor play equipment. Used with a lag shield, it can also be anchored into masonry.
