Lee Valley Bear Claw Screws

These self-tapping screws have an integral washer that holds snugly against the wall, preventing loosening due to the levering action that causes standard screws to fail.

Holds up to 100 lb when installed in wood (or through drywall into a wood stud), or up to 30 lb when installed only in drywall.

The 1″ size with a yellow zinc finish has a shorter neck and smaller diameter head to fit keyhole and sawtooth hangers; the 1 1/4″ screw with a black-oxide finish is suitable for wire or ring hangers.
