Fastening and Joining

Hex Head Screws

Hex Head Screws

Used with nuts to create a stronger joint than flat and rounded screws

Socket Head Screws

Socket Head Screws

With a deeper drive than flat and rounded head screws, these withstand more torque for a tighter hold

Flat Head Screws

Flat Head Screws

Fit in countersunk holes for a flush finish that won't snag on surrounding parts

Set Screws

Exert pressure at the tip to hold parts in place, unlike screws that hold material together with threads

Rounded Head Screws

Rounded Head Screws

Sit just above the surface for a low-profile finish and hold tighter than flat head screws

12-Point Screws

12-Point Screws

12 contact points handle more torque than a hex head while a flange eliminates the need for a washer

Tighten and loosen by hand without the need for tools

Shoulder Screws

Shoulder Screws

Rotate parts around the cylinder under the head to guide and align them during installation

Wood Screws

Fasten material to wood or pieces of wood to each other

Carriage Bolts

A smooth head provides a finished look while a square neck keeps the bolt in place when using a nut
