There are many types of fasteners for many different applications, here is a run down of the basics: Screws: Wood screws are threaded fasteners with a pointed tip and a helical shaft designed to create a threaded connection in wood. They typically have a slotted, Phillips, or Torx drive head for easy installation. Wood screws come in various lengths, diameters, and materials, such as steel, stainless steel, or brass. They are versatile and widely used in woodworking projects, furniture assembly, and general carpentry. Nails: Nails are cylindrical fasteners with a sharp point on one end and a flat head on the other. They are driven into wood using a hammer or nail gun. Nails come in different sizes, including length and diameter, and are available in various types, such as common nails, finishing nails, and brad nails. Nails provide a quick and straightforward method for fastening wood, and they are commonly used in framing, trim work, and construction projects. Lag Bolts: Lag bolts, also known as lag screws or coach screws, are heavy-duty fasteners used for applications that require strong and secure connections. They have a thick, coarse-threaded shaft and a hexagonal or square head. Lag bolts are usually larger and longer than regular screws and provide high shear strength. They are commonly used for attaching heavy objects, such as decks, structural beams, and furniture to wood or other materials.
