Products Structural Screws A screw that won't splinter wood The new 1/4-inch-diameter Strong-Drive Screw (SDS) was developed by Simpson Strong-Tie for securing framing connectors and for wood-to-wood structural applications. According to Simpson, the screw requires no predrilling: its "4CUT" tip reportedly eliminates wood from splitting during installation, and the serrated threads help reduce torque to make driving easier. The screws also come with a double-barrier coating that the manufacturer claims is more corrosion-resis-tant than a hot-dip galvanized coating, making them a good choice for any exterior application but especially with pressure-treated woods.
