The Simpson Strong-Drive TB Wood-to-Steel Screw (Collated) - #12 x 2-3/8 in., N2000 Mechanically Galvanized, 1,000-Quantity is a structural collated screw engineered by Simpson for fastening wood to hot-rolled steel. Purpose-built for use with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive auto-feed screw driving system, this screw is an efficient solution for high-volume applications such as wood truck beds, trailer flooring, and wood-to-steel nailer and ledger installations. Its straight collation, drill point with wings, and tapping threads work together to deliver fast, clean fastening in demanding structural conditions.

Key Features

• Straight collation - feeds smoothly through compatible Quik Drive auto-feed systems for uninterrupted, high-speed fastening on the job site
• Flat head with nibs - allows for easy countersinking so screw heads sit flush without additional prep work
• T30 6-lobe drive - reduces driver-bit cam-outs during installation, resulting in faster driving and less wear on both bits and fasteners
• Driver bit included - provides everything needed to get started right out of the box without sourcing additional tooling
• #4 drill point with wings - bores cleanly through wood and into steel, eliminating the need for pre-drilling and speeding up the fastening process
• Tapping threads - cut and form threads directly into the steel substrate for a secure mechanical connection without a separate tapping step
• N2000 Mechanically Galvanized coating - provides a medium level of corrosion resistance, making this screw appropriate for applications where moderate environmental exposure is a concern

Why This Product

• Engineered for wood-to-steel structural connections - the combination of a #4 drill point with wings and tapping threads means this screw is purpose-designed for fastening lumber directly to hot-rolled steel, not adapted from a general-purpose fastener, giving installers confidence in the connection
• Built for auto-feed productivity - straight collation and compatibility with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PROHSD60 and PROHSD60M systems allow crews to drive screws continuously without stopping to reload, making this screw well-suited for large-scale decking, truck bed, and trailer flooring projects
• Cam-out resistant T30 6-lobe drive - reduces installation frustration and bit replacements compared to traditional drive styles, keeping work moving efficiently even during extended fastening runs
• Medium-grade corrosion protection where it counts - the N2000 Mechanically Galvanized finish delivers reliable durability for wood-to-steel fastening environments that see moderate exposure, without the cost premium of higher-grade coatings for applications that do not require them

Frequently Asked Questions

What auto-feed screw driving systems are compatible with the TBG1260S?

The TBG1260S is designed to install with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PROHSD60 or PROHSD60M auto-feed screw driving systems. Its straight collation format is optimized for use with these tools.

What type of drive does the TBG1260S use, and why does it matter?

The TBG1260S features a T30 6-lobe drive, which reduces driver-bit cam-outs during installation. This results in a more efficient, easier fastening process compared to traditional square or Phillips drives.

What level of corrosion resistance does the N2000 coating provide?

The N2000 Mechanically Galvanized coating provides a medium level of corrosion resistance, making it suitable for applications where moderate environmental exposure is a concern.

Can the TBG1260S be used for hand-drive fastening as well?

Yes. While the TBG1260S is designed to work with the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive auto-feed screw driving system, the TB Wood-to-Steel screw is also available in bulk for hand-drive fastening.
