Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Drive TB Wood-to-Steel Screw is a structural collated fastener built for reliable wood-to-steel connections in demanding applications like wood truck beds and trailer flooring. Engineered to work seamlessly with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive auto-feed screw driving system, this #12 x 1-3/4 in. screw combines a self-drilling point, tapping threads, and an N2000 Mechanically Galvanized finish into a fastener designed for fast, consistent, and corrosion-resistant performance in wood-to-hot-rolled-steel assemblies.
Key Features
- Straight collation - feeds reliably through compatible auto-feed screw driving systems for high-volume installation without constant reloading
- Flat head with nibs - the nibs allow the head to countersink cleanly into wood, producing a flush finish without pre-drilling a countersink
- T30 6-lobe drive - reduces driver-bit cam-outs during installation, helping maintain consistent drive depth and protecting both the fastener head and the workpiece
- #4 drill point with wings - the drill point bores through steel while the wings ream the wood layer, minimizing resistance and eliminating the need for a separate pilot hole
- Tapping threads - cut directly into steel for a secure mechanical connection without requiring pre-tapped holes
- N2000 Mechanically Galvanized coating - provides a medium level of corrosion resistance suited for structural wood-to-steel applications exposed to moderate environmental conditions
- Driver bit included - the package ships with a compatible driver bit so installers can get to work without sourcing additional tooling
- 1,000-count package in straight collation format - a high-quantity supply keeps production moving on large jobs like truck bed decking and trailer floor installations
Why This Product
- Purpose-built for wood-to-steel fastening - unlike general-purpose screws, the TB screw is specifically designed for attaching wood to hot-rolled steel, combining a drill point, tapping threads, and the right head geometry into a single fastener that handles the entire process without pre-drilling
- Auto-feed compatibility speeds up large installations - straight collation and design compatibility with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PROHSD60 and PROHSD60M systems mean faster, more consistent placement across high-count applications like truck bed decking and trailer flooring
- Reduced cam-out keeps production moving - the T30 6-lobe drive geometry holds the bit more securely than a standard Phillips or square drive, cutting down on stripped heads and wasted fasteners during high-volume runs
- Everything needed is in the box - each 1,000-count package includes a driver bit, so crews working with auto-feed or hand-drive setups have the tooling on hand to start fastening immediately

Frequently Asked Questions
- What auto-feed driving systems are compatible with these collated screws?
- These TB Wood-to-Steel screws are designed to work with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PROHSD60 or PROHSD60M auto-feed screw driving systems. A driver bit is also included in each 1,000-count package.
- What are these screws designed to fasten, and what are their typical applications?
- The TB Wood-to-Steel screw is engineered specifically for fastening wood to hot-rolled steel. Typical applications include installing wood truck beds and trailer flooring.
- What level of corrosion resistance does the N2000 coating provide?
- The N2000 Mechanically Galvanized coating provides a medium level of corrosion resistance, making these screws suitable for demanding structural applications.
- What drive type and point style do these screws use, and why does it matter?
- These screws feature a T30 6-lobe drive, which reduces driver-bit cam-outs for easier and more controlled installation. The #4 drill point with wings drills cleanly through wood and into steel, while the wings help prevent the wood from spinning during fastening. Tapping threads allow the screw to thread into steel efficiently without requiring pre-tapping.
