Any DIY enthusiast, carpenter, woodworker, or contractor knows the value of having the right tools and materials for the job. Fasteners, and particularly screws, are a vital component of any project and determine the strength and overall success of the finished product. To date, we have been limited by locally manufactured solutions and these do not always offer the required solution, but what other choice do we have?
Why it is important to select the right screw
Whatever the task at hand or the project that needs to be completed, screws are the mechanical agent that fastens everything together. They allow pieces to be assembled and dismantled in a variety of different methods. But, ultimately, the screw is what holds everything together and forms the foundation for stable, strong construction..
Choose the screws you need according to the type of project and the requirements for screw diameter and length as well as the strength of material used in the manufacture of the screw.
