Welcome back Nerds, Today I test some of the new screws I've been using to see how much weight they can hold before they snap off. I've seen tests of nails vs screws when in comes to shear strength when hit by a hammer but not done like this and I was curious to try it out for myself.

I'm getting some Project Farm vibes and I'm digging it. I laugh every time you mention those screws cause you like them so much, and I definitely understand having good go-to hardware. Keep it up.
Thanks man! They are seriously the best haha. I think I’m so pumped about them because what took so long for someone to come up with a way better alternative to the Phillips head screw.
I used these Hillman brand screws in my deck recently... they are very good.
I’m a big fan! Thanks for sharing!
Everybody's a critic man. I too am just relying on the shear strength of whatever screws i used to build my bench/storage shelves and it held my fat ass up just fine. Keep up the great work man!
Haha thanks man! I appreciate your support! I was surprised that these took over 1k pounds to snap off.
It works great until it fails and kills you kid or your dog.
The test is valid. It is real world number, it counts.
Thanks Sheng, I thought it was a pretty logical test given the scope. I appreciate you checking it out and leaving feedback!
Your ignorance doesn't make his ignorance and less ignorant.
Cool beans…been wanting to use these screws for a 12x12 floating deck (into the joist)👌🏾thanks
very bad idea, get 3/8 or 1/2 inch thick lag screws.
Just subscribed based on your character and humility, the content is a bonus. Thanks for the interesting and helpful video bro. 👍🏻
Thanks for watching Patrick! I appreciate the feedback!
Thanks , this what i need
Thank you! Now I know how much a stud can take.
Haha I was surprised with how much those suckers bowed.
Thanks bro very informative
Thank you!! This is real world data that I am looking for!
I have a solar panel array on my roof and I am using #17 size 4" long lag screws to hold the array down. I carefully measured where the 2x4 trusses (presumably pine) are and pre-drilled a hole 13/64" (abt 0.20" or 5mm) and the lag screw shank is about 0.225". The screws are going into the side of the 2x4, (hopefully in the center with 3/4" of wood on either side!!) and I am worried about the pull out strength! We get some pretty viscous winds from the north that could get under the array and pull out the lag screws!
So my question is how much force do you have to apply to various screws to the pull the screw straight up out of the wood? I think this is called the pullout strength or something?
Hey Zach! I believe the term is grip strength! I don’t know all the ins and outs but the grip strength of screws is supposed to be pretty high! In some of the tests I conducted, the screw was pulled through the test board before pulling out of the anchor board (kinda crazy). I bet you can find someone with solar related experience in a Facebook group or on Reddit that could give you better recommendations than I could. Sounds like a beefy project, I hope it goes smoothly for you!
If you’re lag screwed into the studs not just the plywood, you’ll have extremely high security. Lag screws at 3/8 have a grip strength of between 800 and 2500 pounds depending on certain factors
Structural screws nowadays are getting a lot more shear strength.
Agreed! These are just regular wood/deck screws. I use them for everything, especially knowing how much they can handle.
No, some screws are now structural, which they weren't earlier, which is why nails are required by code in most places. It is still illegal to use screws for framing in a lot of places. Canada is the only place I know off the top of my head where it is legal to use screws in framing. But that's not something I have been paying much attention to in a long time.
@@MAGAMAN I wouldn't build a house with screws but it's legal on decks here if you notch the 6x6 post so the 2x12's (example) butt up flush against the notched post. They hold better than nails this way over time because the shear weight is all on the 6x6 post. The screws won't back out from heat and cold temp exposure over the years.
@@MAGAMAN I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes legal eventually with some of the structural screws coming out. I won't use them until it's certified.
@@jasonhull2163 I would use a metal bracket instead of a notch (Simpson makes brackets for this). I think notching is illegal in some jurisdictions because notching weakens the post.
I skipped around a bit in the video but I cannot find the name of the screw you used. Are these GRK?
Hey, thanks for watching! Should be listed in the description!
They are not listed anywhere in the description. There is an amazon associate link to the screws. I think these are Hillman power pro premium exterior screws
Your setup is sketchy as heck. Glad you didn't hurt yourself. Take a look at project farm for some helpful inspiration.
Are you on Instagram.
Hey Tony! Yeah, my name there is wood_nerds!
DECK SCREWS, not Drywall Screws, or even Stainless Steel Screws!
Correct, exterior wood/deck screws (I believe I mentioned that in the video?)
No, NOT deck screws. Construction screws.
This is a stupidly dangerous test and it fails to address the real problem which is a sharp jolt. When you have 700 lbs on your shelving and then you throw your 50 lb bag of bird seed (or whatever) on there it can start a reaction that causes all that weight to end up on top of you.
When you build something that's going to hold a lot of weight, you want to have structure supporting structure. Always. That crappy shelving system you built can be made much, much stronger, by simply cutting some 2x4s to fit in between the bottom of the shelves and the floor, or the shelf below and attaching it to the 2x4s you have screwed into the shelf. To make it even stronger, turn the 2x4s 90 degrees and use glue and screws and this will help prevent the legs of the bench from bowing out over time.
Of course nothing will fix the fact that you used extremely weak joints on the ends of the boards with those crappy pocket hole screws, other than tearing it down and rebuilding.
It is redundant to inform your viewers as to who you are not, especially after seeing your test rig.
