SCREWS

Screws are metal fasteners having tapered, helically threaded shanks

and slotted heads, designed to be driven into wood or the like by turning,

as with a screwdriver. Because of their threaded shafts, screws have

greater holding power than nails, and are more easily removable. The

more threads they have per inch, the greater their gripping strength.

Screws are classified by use, type of head, material, length and diameter.

• Material: steel, brass, aluminum, bronze, stainless steel

• Lengths: ½” to 6” (13 to 150)

• Diameters: up to 24 gauge
