Galv., 100-Pack (SD10212R100-R) is a load-rated connector screw made for installing Simpson Strong-Tie framing connectors. This is a connector screw designed for fastening approved metal connectors to wood in structural framing applications. Model Number: SD10212R100-R.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWhat sets this fastener apart is simple: it is not just another exterior wood screw. Simpson Strong-Tie designed the Strong-Drive SD CONNECTOR Screw specifically to replace nails in certain connector applications, and according to the manufacturer it is the only screw approved for that use. For builders, remodelers, and serious DIY users, that means you can install hardware with more control than swinging a hammer while still staying inside the connector manufacturer's approved fastener schedule where specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis version is a #10 x 2-1\/2 inch screw with a sharp point, a 1\/4 inch hex drive, a hex head, and an integrated washer head around 0.370 inch in diameter. In practical terms, the hex head and washer design help the driver bit stay engaged better and spread the clamping force at the connector face. That is useful when you are working in awkward positions, against existing framing, or anywhere nail placement is tight and a hammer is inconvenient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe shank is also purpose-built for connector work. Simpson Strong-Tie calls out that the shank is specifically designed to match the fastener holes in its connectors. That is one of those details that matters more than it sounds. With structural connectors, fit is part of performance. A screw that was not designed for the hole geometry can create installation headaches or fall outside approved use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eMaterial and finish matter here too. The screw uses mechanically galvanized Class 55 coating and is intended for both interior and most exterior applications. The manufacturer also notes that this coating meets ASTM B695 Class 55 and is recommended for use with certain preservative-treated woods, with recognition as an alternate to hot-dip galvanized in ESR-3046. If you are buying for deck framing repairs, exterior ties, hangers, or general structural connector installs where corrosion resistance is part of the conversation, that is relevant information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eSimpson Strong-Tie also notes optimized heat treating for ductility and strength. On the job, that translates to a fastener that is engineered to hold up under structural connector demands instead of behaving like a brittle generic screw. The SD screw line has been tested and approved in many popular Simpson Strong-Tie products, and the manufacturer states that single-fastener load values for SD screws exceed those of typical common nails in comparable applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis pack includes 100 screws, making it a practical size for smaller framing runs, punch-list connector installs, repair work, and keeping a box on the truck for inspectors' callouts or hardware upgrades. A hex driver is included, which is a nice touch because it gets you installing right away without hunting for the correct bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIf you work with Simpson Strong-Tie connectors regularly, this is the kind of fastener worth buying on purpose instead of substituting. It makes the most sense for carpenters, deck builders, framers, general contractors, remodelers, and homeowners handling approved connector installations where control, repeatability, and correct fastener selection matter. If your connector schedule specifically calls for SD screws, use the approved fastener and move on with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstall Connectors Where a Hammer Is a Pain\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ssttoolbox.widen.net\/content\/pdpm3mv16i\/jpeg\/C_H1Z_InstPho_Pho_Inst_HurricaneTie-SDScrew-Drill_C0.jpeg?position=c\u0026amp;color=ffffffff\u0026amp;u=cjmyin\" alt=\"Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SD CONNECTOR Screw being driven into a metal hurricane tie on wood framing with a drill during structural connector installation\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eConnector locations are often cramped, angled, or overhead.
