Simpson Wafer-Head Construction Screw #8 x 2" Tan by Simpson Strong-Tie is engineered to help you build every project faster, easier, and stronger. Designed for a wide range of applications - from interior cabinetry and framing to outdoor furniture and general home improvement - this versatile fastener delivers reliable holding power with features that streamline installation. The tan color and Quik Guard coating make it equally suited for interior projects and exposed exterior use, giving contractors and DIYers a single screw solution that performs across job types.

Key Features

• Wafer Head with 0.418 in. diameter - provides strong pull-through resistance so fastened materials stay securely in place without tearing through the surface
• Patented SawTooth point - eliminates the need to predrill, saving time on every fastener and reducing tool requirements on the job site
• T20 6-Lobe drive recess - delivers secure bit engagement and reduces cam-out, making driving faster and more controlled even in tight or awkward spaces
• Serrated threads with 1.25 in. thread length - bite aggressively into material for a strong mechanical hold that resists backing out over time
• Quik Guard coating in tan finish - formulated for both interior and exterior applications, resisting corrosion and blending discreetly with common building materials
• 2 in. overall length - sized for versatile fastening depth in framing, furniture, and cabinetry tasks without overdriving

Why This Product

• The SawTooth point removes the predrill step entirely - a direct time-saver on high-volume fastening tasks like framing and cabinet assembly where every second counts
• The Quik Guard coating means you can use a single screw type across both indoor and outdoor projects, reducing the need to stock multiple fastener types for different environments
• The 6-lobe T20 drive recess reduces bit slipping and cam-out compared to standard Phillips or square drives, giving you cleaner, more consistent results in production and finish work
• The tan color is intentionally matched to common building materials and treated lumber tones, keeping fastener heads visually unobtrusive in finished and semi-finished applications
