Coach screws, also known as lag screws, are large, heavy-duty screws that are designed to securely fasten heavy timbers and other thick materials together. These screws are typically used in construction, woodworking, and landscaping applications.
Coach screws are characterized by their long, tapered shank and large, hexagonal head. The tapered shank allows the screw to be easily driven into the material without the need for a pilot hole, while the large head provides a greater surface area for the wrench or socket to grip onto during installation.
One of the main advantages of coach screws is their strength and durability. They are able to securely fasten heavy timbers together without the need for additional hardware such as bolts and nuts. This makes them a popular choice for applications such as building decks, fences, and retaining walls.
Another advantage of coach screws is their ease of installation. Because they do not require a pilot hole, they can be quickly and easily installed with a drill and wrench or socket. Additionally, their large head allows for easy removal and repositioning if needed.
