Extreme Structural Penetration Pro-Pack Our 4.5-inch lag bolts are designed for extra-thick timber assemblies and deep-core anchoring. This 20-piece contractor pack provides the robust 5/16 diameter needed for professional-grade shear resistance, making these the ideal choice for securing heavy beams, landscaping ties, or large structural brackets to 6x6 posts.
Vise-Like Clamping Power Our partially threaded shank features a smooth upper section that allows the bolt to pull the outer timber tightly against the support structure. This creates a gap-free, rock-solid joint, eliminating the bridging effect common in extra-long full-thread screws for a professional-grade finish.
