Growing up, my dad taught me and my sister the two "basic screws" and had us retrieve them every time so we learned. "Go to the workbench and grab me a handful of "wood screws". "Go to the workbench and grab me a handful of "sheet metal screws". My dad was a jack of all trades and a master mechanic where he worked so he knew them all in detail but that was just his easy way of teaching us when we were little. I always loved dad's life lessons. He's a very smart man.

[@stevenwymor1398]

BTW, my high school AP Physics teacher told us that a screw is essentially just a conical or cylindrical section with an inclined plane wrapped around the section. It was a cool explanation about how we use simple geometry to do so much work for us. That was over 40 years ago, and I still think about it every time a use a screw. Some lessons just stick with you forever.

Interesting, remembering my junior school math teacher telling me two points make a straight line. I could not grasp what he meant. Yet now decades later i always remember him when cutting or sewing a straight line🙏

[@rickyspanish9625]

Yep just a big spiraled wedge, and a wedge needs to have a normal force to produce friction and stay tight. Which is why when people set toilets without the plastic washers under the metal ones they eventually come loose due to the lack of deformation of the plastic. As a plumber I see this often.

[@vladislavshatilov1711]

Coarse-thread screws are generally used for quick assembly, while fine-thread screws provide better holding strength. Coarse threads are more resistant to stripping, making them suitable for softer materials, while fine threads are effective in harder materials. The choice depends on the specific application and materials being used.

[@l.clevelandmajor9931]

I took woodshop classes for three years in school and was taught the difference between the different threads on screws in the first two weeks of my first year. I never forgot that lesson because the teacher demonstrated his lessons so that we all were able to cement the knowledge in our minds. In that same year I learned about other joining techniques as well, including dovetail joints. In my later years I went to college and took carpentry classes just to get the credentials for what I already knew. By that time I had become a woodworker extraordinaire, with the skills to fit cabinetry to the interior walls of buses. I was already a good cabinet and furniture designer and maker. The biggest reason for having such high skills in woodworking is because my father, his father, and his father's father were all woodworkers, and I learned most of my knowledge from them. Like my grandfather I got into designing and making furniture, not because it made money for me, but because it is an artform, and is a lot of fun to do. The money I made doing it was just a bonus for doing what I love so well.

Thank you. I love that you got straight to the point with clear succinct explanations interspersed with some great demonstrations of how, where and why. Some content creators seem to love the sound of their own voices more than they love actually teaching/demonstrating anything. As a middle aged spinster on a fixed income, l've had to teach myself all sorts of DIY skills over the years. I nearly didn't bother watching this cos, my first thought was, - Meh, screws apart from, wood, metal, drywall or self tapping. What's to know? - I love how wrong l was. l was hoping you'd also clarify why the unthreaded part varies in length but, you may have done that in other videos. Have subscribed and am off to learn some more from your other videos. Thanks. 😊

Thanks, that was a good and helpful explanation. I knew most of this through trial and error, but hadn't thought it through: why those fine threads suck on soft wood, or why sheet metal and pole barn screws are both fine and coarse, or why those fine thread door closer screws they supply always rip out of my pine door frame on a windy day.

I love those screws with two different thread types that really pull two pieces of wood tightly together. They really work!

[@billashby7858]

To add a little to what you said, when screwing into steel studs you can usually drill into 20 to 25ga metal with a "good" fine thread sharp point screw, however drilling into anything heavier would require a self drilling fine threaded screw! Attaching plywood into heavy gauge metal (18ga or heavier) you can use what they call a ply metal tek with wings, no predrilling required!

Awesome. Thanks for the extra info, Bill!

I've use drywall screws for years. And noticed that it took the same amount of time to screw either a coarse or fine drywall screw ( at least the ones I've been using ) and noticed that the fine thread drywall screws have a double helix so the thread pitch between the two are exactly the same. Something to ponder!

I like the course threads with a groove at the beginning that cuts a hole for the threads, stops splitting at the edge of boards.

[@TheHonestCarpenter]

Yep, self-tapping threads. Great innovation!

[@danstheman33]

​@@TheHonestCarpenterhe's not describing self-tapping threads, he's just talking about the 'type 17' point or the cut tip (with various trade names) that helps the screw self-drill in wood. My pet peeve is when people confuse 'self-drilling' with 'self tapping'. Pretty much any screw with sharp threads is self-tapping. And the term 'self-drilling' only really applies to metal, because in wood and other soft materials, pretty much any screw with a sharp point is self-drilling, even if it doesn't have any special cutting tip. And if we really want to get technical, even 'thread forming' screws are different from 'thread cutting', I'm honestly not sure the difference, but I would describe both as 'self-tapping'.

[@802Garage]

[@brettbarager9101]

"It's a small detail but makes a big difference." Well said! Many years ago, I installed a drywall ceiling over resilient channel. Unfortunately, I used coarse thread (was quite inexperienced at the time) and it did not hold well at all! Took a long time to redo it with the proper screws (and then remove the coarse thread screws). What a mess! Certainly a lesson learned the hard way!

[@Name-ot3xw]

IIRC, only 3-4 threads of a bolt will actually be engaged. I assume a similar effect is in play for screws. Where things get wonky is with fit classes.

What screws do you believe would suit in attaching timber paling (fence) to a solid brick. I plan on using a green wall plug 7mmx35mm and a 60mm stainless steel screw.

I'd love a follow up on the varying threads for nuts/bolts. I've been working on used ebike hub motors and the axles have been mostly M12 and 1.25 thread pitch but when trying to locate replacement nuts or considering rethreading due to current threads being stripped, it's been confusing trying to figure out how/why the varying thread pitches are used. I'm now wondering if it's similar where more dense metals use finer thread pitches and softer or less dense use coarser threads?

[@zalafinari]

@@eder60hz51it's not the nut with the stripped thread, it's the axle unfortunately. I did actually use a die to rethread one but in doing so I lost most of the "flat" of the axle that sits in the dropout.

[@fernandonunez8333]

Almost all the screws I use for wood, and varied boards, have a serrated edge, tipical of the "Spax" brand. Recently I had to use a good bunch of them for fixing chipboards to an structure of steel square tubes. It was surprising how many of the screws became broken, until realizing that serrated edge and metal weren´t good friends.

[@johnwalenski1555]

Regarding those Spax screws, I find the GRK brand far superior in terms of staying on your driver tip and not spinning out. I believe the star heads on the GRK's are made deeper.

[@danstheman33]

​@@johnwalenski1555I agree that GRK screws are much higher than Spax. I've had a bunch of Spax screws be defective right out of the box, and they seem weaker and more poorly made overall (I can't recall if I've ever snapped one, but I only use those once in a while anyway). That said, using wood screws (with cut drilling tip or not) in metal is just dumb, regardless of the brand.

[@johnwalenski1555]

Agreed. Jumped the gun a bit with my comment, saw "spax" and had to get my 2 cents worth in. Certainly not my first choice for fastening into metal!

[@thomasstambaugh5181]

I wonder if fine-threaded drywall screws in maple remain tighter under load than their coarse-threaded counterparts. I'm here because we have two expensive maple kitchen stools that are constantly getting wobbly because the drywall screws used to attach the seats to the legs get loose after a few weeks of use. The last time I tightened them, I noticed that the screws are coarse-threaded drywall screws. The next time they loosen, I'm going to try replacing the screws on one with fine-threaded drywall screws. The video doesn't mention whether or not the thread style affects the long-term holding ability of a drywall screw in hardwood (like maple). I'm curious to see if using a fine-threaded screw improves my two maple kitchen stools.

[@crabwalk7773]

Nail pops. Have you ever covered these? (I bought a condo and had about 7 nail pops between two rooms. Now I have a few dozen between [almost?] every room.)

[@umchoyka]

Nail pops in drywall are due to the wood studs drying out after the drywall is installed. Typically, framing lumber is fairly wet when fresh from the mill and construction sites will not wait for it to dry out before installing. This means that after the first few months after installation, the wood itself shrinks. When drywall is installed over top of this, even if the drywall screws are installed correctly to begin with, they get pulled through the top layer of paper that the drywall is made of. Unfortunately, because drywall's strength is only from the connection between a properly installed screw and the paper layer, this results in the screw being "loose" in the drywall and will eventually reveal itself as a popped screw. The fix is relatively easy, just remove the popped screw and add two additional screws above and below the old screw hole. You will have to then go back and add drywall compound (mud) to fill in the holes and cover the new screws. Then repaint the wall.

[@billashby7858]

A lot of builders use drywall nails and these are what usually "pop" however what @umchoyka said in the other reply is correct!

Good analysis! But somewhat unrelated, I much prefer the Canadian Robertson screw heads--the square hole won't strip or cam out like phillips screw heads do, and hold the driver MUCH better than flathead screws. Uncommon in the USA and elsewhere, but easily ordered from Canada!

[@stephenpike3147]

Totally agree, I was brought up on flat and cross/ Phillips head screws. Found the Robertsons are so much better and also cope better when screwdriver not quite in line for those awkward to get to screws, so I have converted to. Only disadvantage is head can more easily fill with paint or grit etc over time; nothing that can’t be easily removed with a sharp object before undoing the screw.

They do! Most commonly with plastic or mdf. These days there are specialty screws with narrow flank angles (so thin thread of a harder steel) that have largely displaced them.

I started doing drywall on metal studs with fine thread screws. Then when I tried it with coarse thread screws I found it work better even though it doesn't seem like it would. I never have problems with nail pops either.

[@gorkyd7912]

The drywall stops it from wobbling and since it's going into thin metal there's not really a difference in strength; they're both being held in by 1 thread. Coarse thread probably goes in faster, which is important for professional work.

[@Darren51283]
