INTRODUCTION
Introducing the new standard for overhead fastener installations of rafter and
truss assemblies. The Simpson Strong-Tie
®
Quik Stik
™
rafter and truss fastening
system provides a versatile solution that makes fastening rafter and truss
connections faster, safer and easier. No ladders, nail guns or compressors
needed. The Quik Stik installation system is lightweight and easy to use without
formal training or certification. Quik Stik system is compatible with most drills
— even cordless models. This adaptability to your existing tools enhances the
efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the Quik Stik solution.
The Quik Stik fastening system is designed to drive the 6" Simpson Strong-Tie
Strong-Drive
®
SDWC Truss screw (SDWC15600) to fasten wood rafters and
trusses to the top plates of wood frame walls. It is not designed to drive
collated fasteners or any other type of screw.
This manual provides instruction for the operation of the Quik Stik tool when
installing a Strong-Drive SDWC Truss Screw. For more details about the SDWC
Truss screw, installation details and installations with multiple SDWC Truss
screws, see the F-F-SDWC18 product flier at

.
The SDWC Truss screw is a structural screw with a fully threaded shank for a
secure connection. The SDWC Truss screw has been tested in accordance
with ICC-ES AC233 (screw) and ICC-ES AC13 (wall assembly and roof-to-
wall assembly) for uplift and lateral loads between wall plates and vertical wall
framing, and between the top plate and the roof rafters or trusses.
