This is a timber screw designed for structural wood-to-wood fastening. Model Number: SDWS22800DB-R50. In this pack, you get 50 tan screws sized at 0.220 inch diameter by 8 inches long, making it a solid fit when you need deep bite, strong pull-through resistance, and a faster alternative to traditional lag screws or through-bolting in many wood connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWhat matters on the job is how quickly a long structural screw starts, how cleanly it drives, and whether it holds without fighting the tool the whole way in. This screw uses Simpson Strong-Tie's SawTooth point to start fast, cut into wood efficiently, and reduce installation torque. In practical terms, that means less time leaning on the drill and less need to predrill in most applications. For crews doing repeated fastening in posts, ledgers, beams, blocking, or other heavy wood members, that speed difference adds up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe thread design is built for holding power, and the large washer head gives you a broad bearing surface where that matters. Instead of concentrating force in a smaller area, the head spreads the load more effectively across the wood surface. That is useful in structural wood connections where clamp force and pull-through resistance matter. Underhead nibs also help the head seat flush with less splintering, so the finished connection looks cleaner and the head does not stand proud when driven properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eDrive engagement is another place where these screws separate themselves from generic construction fasteners. This model uses a T40 6-lobe drive for more positive bit engagement, easier driving, and better driver bit life than screws that tend to cam out under load. When you are running long fasteners into dense lumber or treated stock, better engagement means fewer stripped heads, fewer wasted screws, and less frustration. Size identification on the head also makes it easier to confirm what you are using when you have multiple lengths on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFor outdoor work, the coating matters just as much as the geometry. The double-barrier coating provides corrosion resistance equivalent to hot-dip galvanization, and Simpson lists it as suitable for certain exterior and preservative-treated wood applications as described in the evaluation report. If you are building fences, pergolas, planter boxes, ledgers, or other exposed wood assemblies, that coating is a big part of why this screw makes sense over an interior-only fastener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis specific SDWS22800DB-R50 version is 8 inches long with a 0.760 inch washer head, 0.220 inch shank diameter, and 3 inch thread length. That combination is geared toward longer reach into thick members while still giving the installer a strong head for seating and a shank profile intended for structural timber connections. It is a hand-drive screw for use with a T40 bit, and Simpson lists applications that include structural wood-to-wood and engineered wood fastening, including ledgers and certain mass timber connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWho should buy it? Contractors building exterior wood structures, deck and fence crews, remodelers handling ledger and beam work, and serious DIY users who want a structural fastener instead of a basic wood screw. If your job involves fastening substantial wood members and you want something faster and more practical than old-school lag screw installation in many cases, this is the type of screw worth paying for. If you only need a light-duty wood screw for trim or finish work, this is more fastener than you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits-1\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDrive Long Structural Screws Without the Usual Fight\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\/tmsy6u50lk\/jpeg\/F_SDWS-DB_InstPho_Pho_Inst_SDWS-TimberScrew-Ledger-Milwaukee_C0.jpeg?position=c\u0026amp;color=ffffffff\u0026amp;u=cjmyin\" alt=\"Simpson Strong-Tie SDWS22800DB-R50 Strong-Drive SDWS TIMBER Screw being driven into a wood ledger during exterior framing work with an impact driver\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eLong structural screws are only useful if they go in cleanly.
