FastenMaster FMTLOK08-250 TimberLOK Heavy-Duty Wood Screw, 8 Inches, 250-Count

I've been using these for 20 years (6" & 8"). Always a good test for a Cordless Drill - separates a good drill from junk. When building with 4" material they are great for pulling boards together tight. Seldom ever have a board spilt with these.

These are decent screws I have bought before. Probably need to pre drill into harder woods as the screws can shear. I need these for a job 2 weeks ago....still waiting.

I bought these 6 inch screws to be able to drive them through the long side of a 2 x 4 and then have the 2 1/2 inches left over to anchor them into a wall stud. Under ideal conditions the company states that no predrilling is required. I chose to predrill because I was standing on a ladder leaning into a cabinet attached to my garage wall. The predrilling in this case assured me that the screws would be aimed into the wall stud that was of course behind sheet rock and invisible. I made sure that I located the wall studs using a stud finder and then a small metal point to poke through the sheet rock and into the stud. Why all the care? Because I was reattaching a large wooden cabinet to the wall that was previously attached with only five wood screws and one of them was only in the sheet rock and not a stud. Yes, it fell completely off the wall and dumped its contents of half full paint cans. Naturally, they pretty much exploded when they hit the garage floor and I now have paint all over the walls, blinds the cabinet beneath this on and...............you get the picture.

These are priced better than the orange and blue stores at 250 qty. Drive fine, didn't snap any in the harder boards. Would buy again from Amzn since they're a better value. Don't understand why the other stores can't do better on the qty that they move.

Bought two 250 count packs over the past three years. Used them for retaining walls and haven't had any issue so far. Only have about 25-30 screws left. Every one of the 500 screws was in excellent condition.

Built a 36" high retaining wall using 6 x 6 pressure treated lumber. These bolts were used to hold stacked lumber together. No pre-drilling required--the TimberLOKs went right through the first timber and into the next with a little countersinking--saves a lot of time!. A corded heavy duty drill or impact drill is required. A battery powered drill won't drive many bolts without a good supply of charged batteries. A bit pricey when buying the smaller packages, but very reasonable in price when buying this 250 bucket. Although the 250 bucket only comes with one hex-head driver, I have used the one driver for over 600 bolts and it is still good for many more.

These guys are the ultimate fastening solution. They pull tight, look great, and are (almost) impossible to break. We have succeeded in breaking one driving it into an oak beam without predrilling and it got bound up somehow. That is by far the exception.Our fastener of choice when it is time to get aggressive.

This is a good price on timber screws, and they're strong... I'm screwing them into oak railroad ties after piloting with a 12" x 3/16" bit. The included driver is decent quality. I've installed about 70 to 100 of them so far without any breakage or stripped heads.There is room for improvement... the points are not self tapping, but just a standard wood screw thread. It'd have been great (five star) had they made the perpendicular cutout on one side of the thread tip to allow for cutting its way into the wood. But, alas, you'll likely need to pilot your holes beforehand.Nevertheless, I'd buy these again for the price.
