Prime-Line 9055097 Hex Lag Screws, 1/4 In. X 2-1/2 In., Grade 18-8 Stainless Steel (25 Pack)

Lag screw bolts are used in place of standard wood screws whenever the mounting surface must bear a heavy load. The hex head allows for lag screws to be tightened with more torque than can be used on Phillips head screws, though a pilot hole is still required prior to installation. Note that lag screws do not accept nuts as they are technically thick heavy duty wood screws with threads designed to cut into wood. Heavy duty wood screw with 6 sided hex bolt head Features deep wood screw threads and does not accept a nut Used in applications where standard wood screws cannot support the load (deck building, etc.)
