The SaberDrive™ Platinum 53753 lag screw is engineered for high‑strength structural fastening where reliability, longevity, and premium corrosion protection matter most. Built by Midwest Fastener, this 3/8" x 3‑5/8" hex-head lag screw is part of the SaberDrive™ Platinum family—fasteners designed to outperform traditional lag screws through advanced engineering, rigorous testing, and cutting‑edge coating technology.

This screw features the durable Tan XL1500 coating, optimized for extreme outdoor environments, treated lumber contact, and long‑term structural exposure. Its hex head allows efficient torque application with power tools, while the SaberDrive™ Platinum serrated threads and self‑starting point improve driving speed and reduce the need for pre‑drilling.

Ideal for demanding carpentry, framing, deck building, load‑bearing structures, and large timber fastening, the 53753 model delivers professional‑grade performance in a compact, versatile length.

Key Features

• 3/8" diameter x 3‑5/8" length, ideal for medium‑to‑heavy‑duty structural fastening.
• Hex head design enables strong bit‑to‑fastener grip and efficient torque transfer during installation.
• SaberDrive Platinum technology, rigorously tested to AC233 & AC257 structural and corrosion‑resistance standards for long‑term performance.
• Tan XL1500 coating provides enhanced corrosion protection for outdoor, treated lumber, and harsh‑environment use.
• Type‑17 point and serrated threads reduce wood splitting, minimize pre‑drilling, and promote faster driving into dense material.
• Superior alternative to traditional lag screws due to higher strength, easier installation, and more secure fastening.
• Sold in 50‑count packaging, ideal for contractor‑grade and large‑scale building applications.
