Choosing the right screw for your project

Choosing the right screw for your project

Choosing the right screw starts with a good understanding of your project. Consider the type of material you are working with (wood, metal, concrete), the load the screw will have to carry and the environmental conditions it will be exposed to. Wood screws with sharp points and coarse threads may be suitable for wood, while fine thread metal screws may be required for metal. Remember to match the length and diameter of the screw to the thickness of the material.
