A Wood Screw is a fastener specifically designed for securing wood to wood or attaching other materials to wooden surfaces. It features a pointed tip and coarse threads that provide strong grip and prevent splitting in the wood. Wood screws often have partially threaded shanks, allowing the unthreaded portion to pull pieces tightly together. ... They are typically available in various head types, such as flat (countersunk), round, or pan, with drive styles including slotted, Phillips, or Torx. Made from materials like stainless steel, brass, or zinc-coated steel, wood screws are resistant to corrosion and are commonly used in carpentry, furniture making, and construction.
