Lag Screws
Lag screws are extremely tough fasteners that are very large in size compared to ordinary screws (1/4” in diameter or larger). Unlike wood screws that thread as they enter, hex head lag screws require a hole to be drilled before they can be used. Since wood lag screws are usually used to connect heavy lumber, or other heavy materials that are bearing an intense load, they require a nut which adds extra strength and security.
While more common wood and sheet metal screws are available in multiple head types, lag screws are only available with hex heads. The purpose of the hex head design is to add as much torque as possible, which can be applied with a power drill and driver bit.
