Built like a Husky: Strength you can trust

By Emma Peterson. 

Learn how this fastener lives up to the high performance of its namesake dog breed.  

Huskies are a medium-sized dog breed known for their incredible endurance and ability to pull heavy loads outdoors, even in less-than-ideal weather conditions. It was this reputation that inspired K9 Fasteners to name their lag screws after the breed.  

K9 Fastener’s Huskie™ Premium Construction Lag Screws were designed to support heavy loads no matter the weather. When tested independently, they have been shown to have “over 3,400 pounds of pull through force and over 4,700 pounds of shank shear test force on respective sizes.” Additionally, they exceeded AC257 (a 2,880 (90-day) salt spray test) requirements by 50%. How did the K9 Fastener team design the Huskie Lag Screw to do all this? The core of the fastener is C1022 steel, which is then yellow zinc plated and coated three times with ceramic. This is what gives them that strength reminiscent of their namesake.  

But strength isn’t the only thing the Huskie breed is known for, they’re also known for being very clever dogs, something else they share with the Huskie Lag Screw. These fasteners feature the iconic Quick Bite Tip™, which helps all K9 Fastener’s products bite into material faster. Further, the K9 Fastener team engineered them with an anti-slip bit pocket which keeps the driver bit and the fastener secure so that you can not only avoid bloody knuckles and damaged work surfaces but install easily with one hand. 

At the end of the day, if you are looking for a fastener that is as strong and clever as a sled dog, makes starting projects easier and finishing them faster, look no further than K9 Fasteners’ Huskie Lag Screws.
