Can be used with a nut, or ina tapped hole. Fully threaded hex bolts are also known as tap bolts. Wood screws have large threads and a smooth shank for pulling two pieces of material together. They can be used in wood and other soft materials. Sheet metal screws have sharp points and threads, and are designed to be driven directly into sheet metal. They can also be used in softer materials like plastic, fiberglass, or wood. Machine screws are fully treaded for use with a nut or in a tapped hole. Certain types are sometimes referred to as stove bolts. Socket screws are machine screws with an internal hex socket (Allen) drive. Longer lengths may have a smooth shank. Lag bolts, or lag screws, are large wood screws with hex heads. Typically used for wood construction and landscaping. Carriage bolts have smooth, domed heads with a square section underneath that pulls into the material to prevent spinning during installation.© A flat washer, used to distribute Joad.
