Lag Shields are a two piece die cast anchor that allows for lag screws to be used in materials such as mortar joints, poured concrete, brick and concrete blocks. After drilling the hole the anchor installs with finger pressure or light taps. The lag shield is manufactured in two different lengths; long and short. The shorter style is utilized for harder masonry materials that reduce drilling time, whereas the longer version is used for increased strength in softer or weaker masonry materials.
