I had some 2" x 8" pieces of cedar that I was joining together to make a 24" x 36" slab of cedar.
These screws were being used to hold them together along with the use of 5/8"
dowels and industrial strength glue. I only had to use 4 of them but on 2 of them the heads
rounded off when trying to screw them in. I was using a 1/4" drive 3/8" top quality socket
connected to my electric drill. I had drilled a 1" diameter countersunk hole along with a pilot
hole so the screw didn't have to do much work getting screwed in. The heads rounded off
about halfway through screwing them through the pilot holes. This was before they had to do any
real work of screwing through the raw wood. Cedar is not a hard wood and this should not have
happened.
I had a tough time getting them back out so I could try another screw. A 50% failure rate is not
very good. DON'T BUY THESE UNLESS YOU WANT TO SPEND EXTRA TIME AND MONEY!

Response from Simpson Strong-TieSep 3, 2021
Hi Captain. This is Colin with Simpson Strong-Tie. Sorry for the delayed response, but we only recently received access to respond to reviews on this website. We are also sorry to hear about your experience. It is difficult to diagnose the problem from your post, but this screw requires a 3/8" hex driver and we recommend using a corded drill with a 1/2" chuck (although I have installed several of these on my deck with a 1/4" impact drill into dense southern pine without a problem). If the 3/8" hex driver is loose on the head of the screw, it may be time to replace it. Impact drivers make quick work for installing screws like this, but will also wear out hex drivers more quickly.

I have used a few hundred of these screws, and I think they are great. Compared to Lag bolts, this cuts labor by a third ( no two-step hole drilling). I use a 1/2" electric impact, and have never stripped a head or broken a bolt. The big washer head is very helpful and makes it easy to apply sealant @ clearance hole.They are rated, unlike lag bolts, which makes them easier to use in drawings and getting through planning. Really very happy with this product. Would love to see and even thicker bolt with same self drilling head.

Excellent lag screw to tie a deck to the house
A very strong, heavily galvanized lag bolt. Just the ticket to install the Simpson deck tie back brackets. They are long enough to reach deep into the house bottom plate for a very secure tie-up, as required by most building codes.

Load bearing wall beam
Exellent screw. Very sturdy. Very large bite on the thread. I only needed four of these. Had no problems with the head stripping. I did predrill a small pilot hole just to avoid possibility of a wood crack. Powered them in with my cordless drill. Used them on 4 x 6 riser beam when taking out a load bearing wall.
