lag bolt
Heavy-duty wood screw
A lag bolt is a heavy wood screw with a hexagonal head, driven with a wrench rather than a screwdriver.
Lag bolts are used for heavy-duty fastening—attaching lumber to lumber or hardware to wood framing: The deck ledger was secured with lag bolts.
Despite the name, they're technically screws, not bolts, since they thread into wood rather than accepting a nut.
Also called lag screw.
