FastenMaster, a manufacturer of innovative fastening solutions for decking and wood-to-wood construction, introduces its popular HeadLOK Structural Wood Screws now improved with the TORX ttap Drive System for enhanced installation performance.
TORX ttap is a premium drive system, which combines the ease of a TORX drive with a patented ttap stability button. This innovative design provides superior bit engagement for a stable, wobble-free installation, while preventing fastener strip-out during installation. The drive system is also compatible with standard TORX T30 drive bits.
HeadLOK fasteners feature a large flat head design with chamfer for increased strength, a sharp point for faster installation, aggressive thread design for maximum engagement and holding strength, and a 3/16-inch diameter shank that offers higher design shear than 3/8-inch lag screws. Not only are they suitable for both interior and exterior use without pre-drilling, but they also come with FastenMaster’s exclusive ProjectLife warranty which guarantees product performance for the lifetime of the project. Common applications include use in decks, fences, headers, stairs, ridged foam, cabinet installation, and many other wood-to-wood applications.
HeadLOK fasteners are available in lengths of 2 7/8, 4 1/2, 6, 8 and 10 inches, with additional lengths available for special order. They are sold nationally at thousands of lumberyards and home centers in the US and Canada. HeadLOKs are packaged in 12 pack clamshells, 50 pack boxes, and large quantity (250 – 500 piece) buckets. A T30 ttap bit is included in each package.
