Is the stainless steel Tapcon® screw a lot stronger than the standard blue screw?
No. The concrete screw has the same holding values regardless of the material that the screw is made from. The different materials of the Tapcon® screw are used in the manufacturing process to increase to the level of rust resistance that the screw offers. The holding values are gained from the quality of the base material.
