Great video! Love Spax
These look awesome. Going to use for garden boxes instead of traditional lag screws.
I just built a garden bed with 1/4 inch, 307 steel (junk), lag bolts. Over half the screws snapped, wasting the wood and the 400 screws I bought for a set of beds but I learned on the first 48 screws in the first bed. Now I have to start over. You get what you pay for, that's for sure. I'd never heard of Spax but I'm glad I found them now. I'll be cutting up the one bed and rebuilding it, and future beds will, assuming these perform like expected, will all be Spax.
very interesting-ill try them
Great video... Been using spax for a while
Do you typically cover the screw head with some sort of putty or do you just paint over it?
I’m building a pavilion to corral my grills. After watching this video I will definitely use spax screws,
Thank you
Which SPAX screws I should use to hang a paddle board wall/ceiling rack in my garage (made from wood)? 150 pounds.
Will these hold up on the Alabama coast?
Thank you for explaining and demonstrating proper use of these bolts. I build custom cat purrniture, they're solid, but I am starting to build bigger ones, and wanted self-tightening screws. Again, thanks.
I think you mean self-drilling. Self tightening would be a neat trick
Can these spax hold ceilings racks? What is there weight rating for ceiling connections? Using lag screws currently but want to add more.
Spax are incredible
The wood is split in the image you show... pre drill!!!
Spax Change the Game once folks Started tu buy more because of Star Bit and self drilling. I Discovered Spax in 2010 I got tired of Philipps head Exterior Screws spax screws are faster a few screws bent on me back then Maybe Torque Drill is to strong but I still use them.
I do a lot of DIY and dont follow code or normal accepted construction methods. You get videos that say you cant use screws, gotta bolt or use a $20/30 simson or whatever tie. OK, those suckers cost some bucks per tie. I used different sizes of these things and I use them for everything. Unless you have an elephant using your pool deck, stairs or using lead sheets on your roof these suckers really hold the weight and tight.
I’m a licensed structural engineer, and I declare these lags bad ass.
😲 Structgineer 😲
I See Decmate have self drilling screws with star Heads years ago Spax was a head of game known most Competitors are switching because of spax.
Construction screws are using self drilling tips also
Not necessarily Spax . there is Wurth , another german company , that has a patent on screws that have a drill bit type configuration . pretty cool but crazy expensive
I Ben using spax screws for years they really not split wood maybe soft wood but strong lumber no need for pre drill.
I like the golden screw at 6 minutes 28 seconds more threads .. your screws have little threads
Mostly talking about your bolt head screws to little threads in a 8 inch screw
Do they break?
Are they Rust Proof and pressure timber proof?
These appear to be painted steel fasteners, but maybe they sell a galvanized version. Correction, they are labeled HCR coated, which is apparently proprietary.
"The two most popular chemicals for wood pressure treatment are alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ) and copper azole (CA), which are both active corrosion materials.
Only two corrosion protection systems are recommended for use with these pressure treatment chemicals: hot-dip galvanized steel and stainless steel."
Matt Graham Yeah they have them in stainless steel to
Green coated exterior use and gold coated interior use then there Hdc coating
Can these be used for joist hangers?
No, the diameter is too big.
Simpsons makes structural screws for their hangers. I use them on all my deck builds
I try to purchaae them at Home Depot Dartmouth Crossing they never heard of Spax screws
home depots in Puerto Rico have'em...i checked two weeks ago at home depot Pearland Tx didn't have'em...spent 3 weeks on vacation in Rosharon near Perland...
-They Had them in Fort Worth, but on the screw aisle it was on the end cap in lumber. Check the website and enter your location. It will have where is the store it is located.
@@josevalles4954 - They Had them in Fort Worth, but on the screw aisle it was on the end cap in lumber.
Spax are from Germany and maybe they produce them now in the USA too?
What is the shear strength compared with a framing nail?
A given screw is going to be harder and more brittle and actually have less shear strength than a given nail with a shank of the same diameter.
They are stronger (shear) than lag bolts twice their diameter and have greater tension (pullout) as well. I'm sure they dwarf framing nails.
@@huejanus5505 how can they possibly have twice the shear strength of bolts ??
@@johnwhite2576 lag bolts have much better shear strength...
Project Farm di some testing.

Dude need to make fitness videos.
cool, but your powerlag screws cost 10 times as much as a lag bolt
Alles klar die Schrauben darfste nicht mit einem Schlagschrauber eindrehen🙈
Their deck screws suck two screws in the tip stripped out I had to open the other box to use its tip same thing I was pissed all theses screws no tips just a bunch of screws with no tips T 20 tip you can see its to small of a head for the Job.
Maybe the lags are better who knows I won't be buying tired of being sold low end to learn the company makes a higher end.
Cookinitmax, Hillman square drive deck screws. Economical deck screw that’s pressure treated rated. Grip rite also makes a combo drive you can get in exterior screws/deck screws. Also not bad cost wise. If you just gotta have the best, GRK. Be aware that they make screws designed for interior use as well, so make sure you get exterior rated ones
T20 bits are common You are a ficktard to complain for beeing a fucktard
