Simpson Strong-Tie SDWS16300QR75 .160 x 3" SDWS QuikGuard Framing Screw 75ct

The SDWS Framing screw is designed and load-rated for replacing 16d, 10d and 8d nails in framing applications. The SDWS Framing screw is 0.160" in diameter and superior to nails in holding power and pull-out resistance. It is code listed under IAPMO UES ER-192 and meets 2015 and 2018 IRC^® and IBC^® code requirements for several 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, reducing cam-out and head stripping.
