Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDWS Quik Guard 0.160 In. x 3 In. T25 Framing Screw (250 Ct.)

The SDWS Framing screw is designed and load-rated for replacing 16d, 10d and 8d nails in framing applications. The SDWS Framing screw is superior to nails in holding power and pull-out resistance. It is code listed in IAPMO UES ER-192 and meets 2018 and 2021 IRC and IBC code requirements for most common wood framing applications. The screw has a SawTooth point that makes for fast installations with reduced torque without predrilling, and its specially designed head countersinks easily to provide a clean, flush finish. The T25 bit holds the 6-lobe recess tightly for more secure drive control. Available in 2 1/2", 3", 3 1/2" and 4" lengths for a variety of uses.
