"IMSCREWS 3/8 x 4-1/2 Heavy-Duty Lag Screws - 304 Stainless Steel (2 pcs)

Industrial-Grade Structural Penetration
When projects demand the highest level of structural integrity, these 4.5-inch bolts deliver. The thick 3/8 diameter provides massive shear resistance, making these the professional choice for securing extra-thick timber beams, heavy-duty landscaping ties, or large structural brackets to 6x6 posts where deep anchoring is non-negotiable.

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 high-tension, professional-grade finish.

304 Stainless Weather Protection
Forged from premium 18-8 (304) stainless steel for elite rust protection in outdoor and humid environments. compatible with ACQ pressure-treated lumber. Prevents unsightly rust streaks and maintains structural safety on high-value cedar, redwood, or premium structural framing.
