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 industrial applications.
In the simplest definition, a screw is designed to form connections by assembling directly into the base material. Under the head, a screw will have a full or partially threaded shaft. While most screws offer a pointed end for direct installation into base material, specialty screws like self-tapping screws often require a pre-drilled hole, and others like self-drilling screws create their own hole.

Choosing the Right Industrial Screw: Strength & Material
When selecting an industrial screw, you must consider the application of your project, size requirements, and the base material to be inserted in. While some screws offer multi-purpose fastening for a variety of needs, others are specifically designed to offer successful connections that match certain applications. For instance, a wood screw should only be used for installation into wood. For applications that are outdoors or exposed to other environmental factors, be sure to take into account the material composition or final coating of the screw. Many projects will require stainless steel composition or galvanized finishes to prevent corrosion in wet environments and avoid compromising the connection.
