Lag screws are utilized instead of conventional wood screws whenever the surface that needs mounting is expected to support a substantial weight. The hexagonal head facilitates the ability to apply more torque when fastening, compared to Phillips head screws, although a pilot hole must still be drilled before installation. It is important to note that lag screws cannot accommodate nuts as they are fundamentally robust wood screws designed with threads intended to cut into timber. They are particularly suitable for use on decks since they can be installed without needing to access both ends of the fastener, unlike standard hex bolts that necessitate a nut at the opposing end.
