Bulk 5/16"-9 Hex Lag Screws Stainless Steel 18-8 (A2)
Corrosion-Resistant, Heavy-Duty Fasteners for Reliable Wood Connections
Enhance your woodworking, construction, and outdoor projects with our premium 5/16"-9 Hex Lag Screws, crafted from 18-8 (A2) stainless steel. These lag screws—often called lag bolts—feature a 5/16" diameter and 9 TPI (threads per inch) coarse threads, providing excellent holding power in wood and resisting rust in challenging environments.
The hex head design allows for easy installation using a wrench or impact driver. Their coarse threads and sharp points ensure maximum grip, but remember to pre-drill pilot holes to prevent splitting and ensure proper alignment. These screws are ideal for securing beams, building decking, or mounting heavy fixtures to wooden studs.
