Screws

Screws are versatile fastening devices that use helical threads to securely join materials through torque and friction. Unlike bolts, which typically require nuts, screws often create their own mating threads in the material, making them one of the most practical and widely used fasteners. With countless variations in head styles, drive types, and thread designs, screws are indispensable in woodworking, metalworking, construction, and household applications.

Types of screws include wood screws with coarse threads for gripping timber, machine screws with uniform threads for precision assemblies, and self-tapping screws that cut their own threads in softer materials like sheet metal or plastic. Drywall screws are designed with sharp points and fine threads for securing gypsum boards, while lag screws provide heavy-duty fastening in construction and structural applications. Head styles such as flat, pan, round, and countersunk allow flexibility in installation, while drive types include Phillips, slotted, hex, and Torx for tool compatibility.

The applications of screws extend across furniture assembly, electronics manufacturing, building construction, automotive repair, and industrial machinery. In Pakistan, screws are widely used in carpentry, electrical fittings, roofing, and steel fabrication. Homeowners rely on them for everyday repairs, while factories and workshops depend on specialized screws for precision and heavy-duty tasks alike.

Performance and reliability depend on correct screw selection for the material, environment, and load requirements. Using appropriate coatings such as zinc plating or stainless steel improves corrosion resistance, especially in Pakistan’s humid and coastal regions. Pre-drilling pilot holes, applying correct torque, and using washers where necessary further enhance fastening integrity and longevity.
