A construction connector that connects to a support member with a fastener has a connection element that engages the support member and a fastener receiver connected to the connection element. The fastener receiver includes a raised element and a driving element. The raised element has a proximal end portion connected to the connection element and a distal end portion disposed distally of the proximal end portion. The driving element is coupled to the distal end portion of the raised element and projects generally proximally from the distal end portion of the raised element. The driving element includes a cylindrical wall defining a fastener opening sized and shaped to receive the fastener. The driving element is constructed to be driven into the support member as the fastener is driven into the support member.
