The SDWS Framing screw is designed and load-rated for replacing 16d, 10d and 8d nails in framing applications. The SDWS Framing screw is superior to nails in holding power and pull-out resistance. It is code listed in IAPMO UES ER-192 and meets 2018 and 2021 IRC® and IBC® code requirements for most common wood framing applications.

The screw has a SawTooth® point that makes for fast installations with reduced torque without predrilling, and its specially designed head countersinks easily to provide a clean, flush finish. The T25 bit holds the 6-lobe recess tightly for more secure drive control. Available in 2 1/2", 3", 3 1/2" and 4" lengths for a variety of uses.
