Product Description
Professional-Grade Cement Screws for Concrete, Brick & Cement Board
The POWERTEC 72318 Cement Screws are built for pros and serious DIYers who need reliable fastening in masonry without the hassle of anchors. Featuring a high-low thread design and T25 star drive head, these screws grip harder, drive smoother, and won't strip out when you're working in concrete, brick, or cement board. Whether you're hanging ledger boards, securing furring strips, or installing backer board for tile, these screws get the job done right the first time.
Each 150-pack comes with a matching T25 Torx bit, so you can start fastening immediately—no trips back to the truck. The Blue Ruspert coating delivers 1,000 hours of salt spray protection, making these screws equally at home on interior bathroom installs or exterior deck ledgers. If you've been fighting cam-out with Phillips head concrete screws or dealing with broken fasteners, this is the upgrade your toolkit needs.
Key Features & Benefits
High-Low Thread Design for Maximum Holding Power
- Aggressive bite into pre-drilled holes: Deep high-low threads create more surface contact than standard concrete screws, resulting in stronger pull-out resistance in concrete, brick, and block
- Reduced installation torque: The thread design cuts smoothly through masonry material, making driving easier on your drill and reducing wrist fatigue on big jobs
T25 Star Drive Eliminates Cam-Out & Stripping
- No more slipping or stripped heads: The T25 Torx drive delivers superior torque transfer compared to Phillips or slotted fasteners—your bit stays locked in even when driving into dense concrete
- Includes matching T25 bit with 1/4" hex shank: Compatible with impact drivers and standard drills, giving you a ready-to-use fastening solution right out of the box
Ruspert Anti-Corrosion Coating for Indoor & Outdoor Use
- 1,000-hour salt spray tested: The Blue Ruspert finish provides excellent rust resistance, making these screws ideal for moisture-prone areas like basements, bathrooms, and exterior applications
- Long-lasting performance: Protects the C1022 steel from corrosion in humid environments, ensuring your fasteners stay strong year after year
Serrated Underhead for Flush, Tight Seating
- Pulls material tight against the substrate: Serrated ribs beneath the screw head bite into cement board or furring strips, creating a flush, professional finish without countersinking
- Perfect for cement board installation: Ensures backer board sits flat and secure before tile work, reducing the risk of cracked grout or loose tiles down the road
Durable C1022 Steel Construction
- Improved toughness and ductility: Low-carbon steel construction reduces the risk of screw breakage during installation—especially important when driving into hard materials like brick or aged concrete
- Pre-drill for best results: Use a 5/32" (4mm) masonry bit to create pilot holes in concrete or brick, then drive screws flush with minimal effort and maximum holding power
