DeWALT UltraCon+ Hex Washer Head Blue Gimlet Point 1/4" X 3-3/4" Screw Anchor by DeWALT ANCHORS & FASTENERS is a carbon steel concrete and masonry screw anchor engineered for light to medium duty fastening in concrete, masonry block, brick, and wood base materials. Finished with a blue Stalgard coating for good corrosion protection and a clean, professional appearance, this screw anchor installs quickly without exerting expansion forces on the surrounding base material - making it a dependable alternative to traditional expansion anchors and a direct functional equivalent to what many professionals know as Tapcon screws.

Key Features

• Gimlet point design - enables self-drilling into wood base materials without pre-drilling, saving time and eliminating an extra setup step
• High-low thread design - provides greater stability and grip in concrete, masonry block, brick, and wood, resulting in a more secure and reliable connection
• Does not exert expansion forces - reduces the risk of cracking or splitting the base material, making it safer for use close to edges in concrete and masonry
• No hole spotting required - simplifies the installation process and reduces labor time on the job site
• Removable and reusable in wood - allows the anchor to be backed out and reinstalled in wood applications, adding flexibility when adjustments are needed
• Blue Stalgard coating - delivers good corrosion protection while providing a neat, finished appearance that complements a variety of fastening applications
• Available in several head styles and colors - allows the fastener to be matched to the specific application for both function and aesthetics
• Engineered with matched tolerance drill bits and installation tools - ensures optimum performance and consistent results across light to medium duty applications

Why This Product

• One fastening system for multiple base materials - concrete, masonry block, brick, and wood - reduces the need to stock multiple anchor types for mixed-substrate projects
• The gimlet point and no-hole-spotting design together cut installation steps, making this anchor faster to deploy than traditional expansion-style concrete anchors
• Because the anchor does not exert expansion forces, it performs reliably in applications where base material integrity near edges or tight spacing is a concern
• The removable, reusable characteristic in wood base materials makes this a practical choice for applications like door frames, window frames, and thresholds where future adjustments may be required
