Expensive solution for a problem that never needed to be fixed
💯💯💯
Nobody uses lags for that application.
And the nut is probably crap white metal that will crack and break after a short while! 🙄
If you build a lot of decks, those things are money. You've obviously never tried to drill in 1/2-in carriage bolts and then use a wrench to tighten them down. They are so fast and so easy to put in. They're a couple dollars more than a carriage bolt. Worth every penny
Say you don’t build decks 😂😂. These are code approved above any other method in countys I build in….
Pre drill your holes
Its worth it
Like they did in the video
Have used these to build dozens of decks since they’ve become the code in my area. Never pre drilled once. You’re just defeating the very purpose of the hardware 🤦🏼
You don’t sound knowledgeable jousting with what you have no knowledge of. It comes off petty and stubborn to outdated methods
Too many times, I've been lazy..... Bought a drill bit set just for this now because ive fucked up so much...
No need to, I've ran hundreds of these and had zero issues
Agreed @@JustB904
Without the need to pre drill? You went through a predrilled hole 😂
People seem to be upset for me wanting the company to use their product without the predrilled hole. I just wanna see if the 2x8 splits. Its like going for a test drive and the truck has 4 wheel drive but they wont let you try it 😂
They are probably using the same piece of wood to do demonstrations. Looks like they are at some sort of tool show
@@Jaredman they should use the tool as advertised not in a different application thats way easier.
@@grahamclarke846A pre-drilled hole is absolutely not impacting the viability of this tool, stop it. Some of y’all just wanna find the flaw in everything you go so far as to just comment pedantic ass bullshit.
@@TheHeadincharge Why would they say something as important as, "Use this thing without having to pre drill holes!" Only to drive it through a prefilled board..? That's just stupid. The thing sucks. It's like 3 times the price of a normal carriage bolt. Why the fvck would I buy this over anything else? Because it drills it's own hole? Never seen a video of it doing what it's advertised to do. That's a huge redflag.
This is not a tool it’s a faster 😊
Finally.. the hardware nobody's asking for.
Awesome, the giant conical I’ve always wanted.
you are reinventing a thing that works just fine
I used some on a deck that didn't have enough posts to begin with,They are a great option.
Without pre-drilling holes, you would have a lot of split posts, i would think...
Luckily you won't see it so who gives a frig. Pre drilling carriage bolts splits wood too.
@@kiddhitta I have never seen a carriage bolt split anything predrilled.
Unless the lumber is already compromised or you're using too small a drill bit. Should go into the hole extremely easily with a few taps of a mallet.
That thing protrudes out the back mad crazy tho
Will likely never even matter.
Thats the point 👉 👈 👇 😌 🤷
It's replacing a bolt that goes into a nut and washer. It would be sticking out anyway
@@timothytrudelle9245how ? Do you even know why you are disagreeing with him or are you doing it just to do it? Seriously where would this be useful and better then a traditional screw that btw work that good we have been using them for centuries?
@@jimcricket8128ye but a bolt would stick out 10mm max not like 50mm
There sizing will be a problem, do y'all make 20 different lengths for the screw?
My thoughts exactly
Yes they do, we use these in every build and keep 4.5, 6.5, and 7.5 on hand
@@ryanguyer6951not code approved 😂😂😂
Exactly what I was thinking.
“Tapped for wood threads”
New ASME B1.1 spec?
I'll stick to a bolt and nut without the protrusion or use the right length screw...😂
The aesthetics under my deck are not that important to me. No one will enter see these
Is it cheaper than a nut and bolt? Because we know it’s not stronger. Nor will it last as long.
It’s just as strong. Last as long
Ease of operation is worth the couple of extra dollars. Material cost vs labor cost to pay someone to pre drill and crank vs drive in and done. 🤷🏼♂️.
Not code approved
I used them on the stairway to my pier seven years ago. They meet code and have worked just fine in what most would consider a rough environment.
The lowest stairs are currently underwater.. again and working fine.
Well actually those are just fancy nuts and bolts
The bolt itself does the drilling so you don't need to pre drill
I have been using these for years now, awesome and so fast if you care about efficiency!
Before you criticize these things. Try one. The grip is so much better than nut and bolt. So easy to use also. The sizes line up perfectly if you're using a 4 x 4 with a single or double rim joist are the most common sizes
Or maybe we just use a nut and bolt. Much stronger than a wood screw, I snap those all the time with a screwdriver. And much cheaper than some fancy shaped nut. Because that’s what this is. A fancy unnecessarily long and more costly nut.
Not to mention there’s significantly more threads per inch on a bolt than on a wood screw. What that means, since it’s the threads that hold it together, is significantly less surface area and holding power. That honestly might be the biggest reason it’s so long.
@@kevcom000bahahaha. These are STRUCTURAL lags bruh. This isn’t a wood decking screw 😂😂. You’re not snapping one of these with a screwdriver. Sit down kid.
@@kevcom000that’s was the longest winded way of saying you don’t know shite about what you’re speaking on bruh 😂😂
@@JustB904 “this nut has been tapped for wood threads.” Last I checked regular nuts and bolts don’t use wood threads. They have significantly more thread per inch than a wood screw. Because that’s what this lag bolt is, a really big wood screw. Those bolts are supposed to use the wood to hold it not a bolt hence the wood threads. And I have snapped them before so idk what you’re on about.
Why is the nut so big then? Why can’t it accomplish the same job as a bolt while using the same amount of space?
Let me ask you this. Would you use this to fasten two metal pieces provided they met the length requirements for the bolt and fastener? If not why would the lag bolt suddenly be unsafe? The wood threads aren’t holding because the wood it’s the nut that’s holding onto them. So the material your fastening really shouldn’t matter that much.
You forgot to mention how tight it will cinch it crushed a brand new pressure treated 4x4 for me. Crazy strong
Exactly. Have folks on here hating on them. But they never used so don’t understand the quality of the product.
@JustB904 it's way easier and better than drilling and driving lag bolts
Also you still need to pre-drill depending on the application for instance if you don't want to see cracks over time I don't know
It effectively drills when you install it.
Useful. Made in USA, rust proof for 20 years, amd less than 2.50?
I use them all the time when I build a deck.
Noones saying this but if thats supposed to replace the lag bolts then its much to thin. Its less than half the diameter of a lag bolt
Also, the board is supposed to be supported by the post. Right now the only thing supporting the board is the fasteners which isnt safe.
Sheesh. It’s like kindergarten in here 😂😂
Do you need to be explained to about demonstrations? 😂
This is to show how the bolt works. Not the proper way to cut seats for girders 🤦🏼. FFS focus man
I'll check back in 10 years
Sweet, now to make it affordable so it's useful
Always better to remove material first. Pre drilling holes are good practice and a good habit to have. Solution to a problem that never existed. 🤷🏽♂️
All for the completely reasonable unit price of 14.99.
6.50 here. 😂
A 24 pack is $57 at HD, $50 at Lowes, and $63 on Amazon. For the 6 1/4 inch ones
Only major problem is waiting for codes to allow this fastener as an alternative to the standard carriage bolt!
Counties I work in finally did in last two years. And two rate above old carriage bolts. Time saver and better quality than the old school way. And I’m old school.
Dope
Now if they downsize it for say metal roofs on wood houses, i could see a benefit. Yeah i know it’ll only work for where the rafters aren’t.
I build decks and use these bolts exclusively. Not only a time saver but also incredibly strong and I have yet to find one that loosened up.
How much tho?
What about if you need to remove one? If the treads are out of the wood on the back side…. Then what? Without a pre drilled hole you’ll never get it back out
Idk about US prices but those are like $7.50 cad a piece at Home Depot
now i get it. bolts are inserted in the pre-drill hole but since they are flat at the end they cannot perforate. so this attachments can be installed in a long screw. had to think why.
Necessity is the mother of invention.
And since nobody needs this, it is therefore not an invention
Oh wow those are some really great points you got there what about Aesthetics what is it kind of look like I mean nuts are a hexagon the gothic they're pretty aesthetically pleasing what do you guys think about how this looks
I like these and have used them but I don’t understand their purpose over other solutions. Just that u don’t need to pre drill a hole?
Not to be a stickler... but it won't sinch without a pre-drilled hole. It'll be as tight as you handtightened it, because the friction of the screw between the split fibers.. if you want to sinch, everything between point A and point B has to move at least semi-freely, depending on clamping force ..
Wait, but you still pre drill, and this’ll cost how much more than just a bolt, washer and nut?
Plus it's made of magnesium aluminum metal... not STEEL
@@BOBHLDRMN steel will rust faster
@LPvi1 ... you mean drive in faster.. ??
They’re just using the same hole for demonstration purposes, otherwise you’d have to bring in a ton of extra 4x4s. Also, the point of this product, and most new products at tool shows, is for industrial applications, not your average Joe or the contractor who does this work occasionally. If you needed to install 1,000 of these for a project, the ease and speed of installation may offset the price increase.
@BOBHLDRMN How does the material of the bolt affect how quickly it will drive in?
I never pre-drill holes. I just drill them and the holes are where I need then.
With all the connection hardware we have at our fingertips. This is the option you came up with? It looks awful. I hope it's cheap, but I'm guessing it's not.
😂. Say you don’t build 😂
This is the best for decks. Hate all ya want.
Btw. It looks no worse than a carriage bolt and nut sticking thru your post.
You do understand construction hardware and material come in a plethora of sizes???
Or you could use the proper length screw.
This isn't to solve the problem of a screw being too long. It takes the place of a nut and bolt.
I always wondered why they make these things half the thickness of a standard half in galvanized bolt. Whatever makes you money quicker I guess....
Me: "This looks cool."
Comments always :"This sucks because Z, Y, X."
What special tools? A drill bit and a wrench?
Don’t need either with these. 😂 one step instead of three. It’s not difficult to comprehend.
Nice and flush
What special tools are needed for a normal nut and bolt?
Solving a problem that never existed.
15.00 a piece
More like 4.00
6.25 in my area
$2.08 a piece if you get the 24 pack at Lowe's.
You can’t pre drill, the moment you drill you are done, you can’t drill before you drill (pre) or after you drill (post) just drill and move on
Isn't a pre-drill there to not cause squish and bowing in the wood fibers.
Based on this example the nut does not tighten. The screw is threaded. A screw for dummies
2" woodscrew !
Ok, what if my wood beam is thicker?
Why was a predrilled hole used if not needed?
Why fix a problem that wasn't there?
How much are they ? 10 times a carriage bolt or lag ?
What is it mean no pre-drill that screw came through a hole that would had already been there. There’s three or four holes in that wood already.😊
“Without the need to pre-drill” demonstrates screwing into a hole
Yeah that was dumb. 😂
But you don’t need to predrill. Have yet to ever need to do so for installation
If I need to loosen it or adjust it… or move it…. Idk- everyone wants to build a better mouse trap. I’ll give ya credit, it IS a way to do it… just not sure if it’s the BEST way to do it
Too expensive. I can buy a 6" anchor bolt with a nut and washer for $1.45, then buy a second washer for $.25. put the 2nd washer on the bet side and tighten like normal. Beat that price
Tapped for wood threads? I wanna see that tap.
What’s wrong with the lag bolt?
I'm really starting to think trade shows are just showing off things that cost way too much to solve problems that don't exist
Overkill
So whats the point? Why would u use that?
Nothing a washer and a nut can't fix.
What's the shear strength
So a worse bolt?
Yeah but how much more will this cost? 16 compared to $6.50?
$2.08 a piece if you get the 24 pack at Lowe's.
Screws are not as strong as bolts/all thread. Screws really are not meant for framing. They're too brittle, sure they might hold tight. But they don't bend and flex with the movement of the structure. Try bending a nail over, then do the same to a screw.
You don’t need to pre drill with normal wood screws
What if I use the correct length lag. Predrill always. Oh, wait, that's a scratching object protector. Da dum tiss
One thing everyone loves and appreciates is a framer who is in a hurry /s
No need to Pre Drill.
Well , ya just did run it through a pre drilled hole !!
I guess it is a little quicker than bolts and nuts but a bigger pain to remove
Looks like ass too.
What someone using a drill instead of a impact driver and complaining that it barely works?
That nuts was cast with wood threads. Nothing about that thing was machined
What about this thing called bolts
Assuming the pre drilled holes are just there for the demo lol
Here is a great solution for a problem that never existed 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Split-o-rama
Such an awesome idea. I want to can has!
Likely, your local inspector will fail this.
No way this screw will tighten a nut. When you torque a screw head, it simply digs further.
Or use something more secure and put a bolt and nut👍
How much? £2 each?
And with that thread could your shear rating went down tremendously
Now lets see it without predrilling the hole. Screw won't want to start and the post will split if you manage to get it going. There's not even a cutting point on it.
Fly screens for a submarine
There are clearly 3 drilled holes🤔
Screwed rod/nuts and a cut off grinder..wil alway reign surpreme...this innovation best suits factory
😂. Awww. His oldness is hurt 😂
Bruh. 52 yrs old. These are the way for deck building. The antiqued bs you speak on is just that.
Trusslocks don't require the ugly thing on the backside that's just an overdesigned nut...
Bring back galv coach bolts, 2 bucks each.
Professionals aren’t going to spend the money on it when a bolt and nut is cheap, and a diy person is only going to do a small small project. Both ways it’s more cost effective to buy nuts and bolts. That’s not even half the size of a lag bolt anyways.
I gotta tell ya- I don’t see where this is better than a nut and bolt- and it worries me about the thread strength and longevity of this application
Saves time and cost! This bolt is cheaper and faster to install (no pre-drill) because it's a 1/4"-5/16" shank with a drill bit on the end.
@@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va is a cheaper bolt something we’re looking for during this application? These are crucial joints- load bearing, structural points. I’ve never had a bolt fail in any construction project that ‘I’ve ‘ done- and there hasn’t been THAT many…but I know there woulda been some pretty disastrous results if one did… is there any data on a failure rate or anything?
@@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va about the only advantage I can see is that you don’t have to pre-drill a hole- as you mentioned- but your demonstration uses a pre.-drilled hole. Let’s see it actually without using a pre-drilled hole.
That guy is obviously not a carpenter always pre-drill to keep the wood from splintering
*wood threads*..don't exist. Explain
No special tools also buy our special hardware
*_"without the need to pre-drill"_*
*_*Uses a pre-drilled hole*_*
🤦♀️
Or I could take the proper bolt. And put the correct washer on there. And I don't have to worry about splitting the wood. I live in the desert.You don't want to be doing none of that in 2 years.That would be dried out and cracked and falling apart.
Another thing we dont need
