Industrial Screws: Wood, Lag, Machine & Self-Tapping
Industrial screws from Fasteners Etc., Inc. are available with different drive styles for various screw heads. Our fasteners feature multiple lengths, sizes, threads, and finishes (including corrosion-resistant stainless steel) to serve many functions across a variety of industries.
In the simplest definition, a screw is designed to form connections by assembling directly into the base material. The top portion, or head, allows the user to choose a tool that will turn the screw for fastening. Under the head, a screw will have a full or partially threaded shaft. While some screws have a blunt end that requires a pre-drilled hole, most screws offer a pointed end for direct installation into the base material. Explore our full range of fasteners for all your project needs.
Choosing the Right Industrial Screw: Strength & Material
When selecting a screw, be sure to consider the application of your project, size requirements, and the base material to be inserted in. Some screws offer muli-purpose fastening for a variety of applications, while other screws are specifically designed to offer successful connections that match certain applications. For example, as the name indicates you would only use a wood screw for installation into wood. If your application is outside or has other environmental factors, be sure to take into account the material composition or final coating of the screw as well. Some projects will require stainless steel composition to prevent corrosion in wet environments and risking the connection.
