2-Inch Eye Lag Screws

The 2-inch Eye Lag Screws (750 SD) are purpose-built for anchoring into 16–22 gauge sheet metal, making them ideal for overhead support in commercial and industrial settings. These self-drilling I-Lag™ screws are the only ones of their kind to carry an ICC-ES listing, confirming their reliability and performance under code-compliant standards.

Whether you're hanging ceiling wire, jack chain, or structural bracing, this screw provides fast, consistent results. The 750 SD’s drill point penetrates cleanly without pre-drilling, while the ¾″ collar-to-point distance and 2″ overall length ensure a tight, flush fit. Designed to be used with the Lagmaster® Plus pole tool, it allows safe installation directly from the ground, no ladders required.

Why 2-Inch Eye Lag Screws Are Ideal for Overhead Installations

For installers working with 16–22 gauge sheet metal, speed and safety are top priorities. The 2-inch eye lag screws deliver on both fronts. The sharp tip and aggressive threads make direct installation into sheet metal effortless, eliminating the need for pre-drilling and saving valuable time on-site.

The compatibility with the Lagmaster® Plus tool system turns this fastener into a ladder-free solution. Professionals can hang ceiling grid wire or jack chain quickly and safely from the ground. It’s a trusted choice for suspended ceiling, lighting installs, and duct support, especially when compliance, consistency, and safety can’t be compromised.

Key Features of 2-Inch Eye Lag Screws

The 750 SD I-Lag™ features a ¼″–14BSD thread and measures approximately 2″ in total length, with ¾″ from drill tip to collar. These specs allow for a secure grip in light-gauge steel without over-penetrating or compromising material strength.

Its zinc-plated finish resists corrosion in HVAC zones or damp ceiling spaces. The open-eye design allows for quick wire pre-tying, increasing installation speed. As the only ICC-ES-listed fastener of its kind, it’s certified for reliable overhead use and frequently used in overhead drilling and anchoring systems.
