Make way for a smooth finish

We recommend a test drive

Easy driving from here on

Start fast with no pre-drilling

The Strong-Drive® SDWS TIMBER screw is like no other. Its patented tip ensures fast starts, reduces torque and eliminates pre-drilling. The bold thread design provides superior holding power while the large, low-profile head eliminates washers. All of this and a double-barrier coating to resist corrosion – now that’s a fastener engineered to perform.
