What happens here

This segment introduces Powerpro structural lag screws, highlighting their superior speed and strength compared to competitor products. A demonstration using a test rig shows Powerpro screws driving into wood 30% faster than a competitor's screw, while also achieving full penetration where competitors only reach two-thirds or halfway. This speed is attributed to Powerpro's unique dual-lead thread design, which effectively bites into the wood and draws the screw down quickly and strongly. The dual-lead thread provides 30% more speed without compromising strength or quality. Powerpro structural lag screws are ICC approved (with ESRs) and available at major retailers like Lowe's, Builder's First Source, Do It Best, ACE, US LBM, and 84 Lumber.

Goal: Achieve faster and stronger structural fastening in wood applications.

Tools and materials

  • Drill/Impact Driver DeWalt — Driving the lag screws into wood

>> Thank you. All right, Tim. So, why are we choosing the Power Pro Lag over anybody else's? Well, let me tell you, Brian. It's it it really comes down to a couple of different things. One, you have to have the safety, and you have to have the speed, and the ICC approvals help us help with that. So, I've got a couple of code approved screws here. Um so, from a code approval standpoint for ICC with the ESRs, we've got some great products. Um I'm not going to say which competitors are, but we're The difference with Power Pro is the speed. So, on a job site, you want to get on that job site, on and off it, so you can get on to the next job. But, you can't compromise quality or strength of that part. So, the ICC covers off on the strength and the quality. Let's demonstrate the speed. So, what I'm going to ask is you tell me left, right, or center, and I'm going to place these onto a this rig. Just so you know there is nothing kind of funky. We'll take this competitor A. Perfect. Yeah, put it there. Put it in the front. Yep. How about competitor B? Let's put it in the middle. >> Put it in the middle. Yeah, let's just swap where they will like swap. Yep, that's mixed up where everything you had it laid out. Perfect. nice and straight, I'm just going to come down, make a little dent, and then put each one of the parts there so we know we're we're perfectly aligned. >> Cool. Oh, that's great. You're everything's going in straight. You're making right on. So, we'll move on to the number B. Now, how you ask, "How do you get that speed without compromising the strength?" And the answer is we completely change the paradigm on how we thread things. So, we've got what we call a dual lead thread. So, instead of starting and having a single thread run all the way up, we actually have two threads. How? What happens is it bites the wood, it goes like a very coarse thread, but we get that strength with that second thread when it comes in. So, it grabs the wood and the just draws down. We're going to get 30% more speed because of that thread design. But, my words versus seeing it in action, two different things. Let's see how it goes. All right, we got one, two, three. So, you can see PowerPro beautifully countersunk. >> Yes. Next fastest competitor on the market is about 2/3 driven, and then competitor B here is only halfway driven. That is seeing that 30% faster in reality. Yeah, that is wild, dude. That's the PowerPro advantage. So, you can find our…
