wood screws

Threaded lumber joiners

Wood screws are screws designed for fastening wood, with tapered shafts and coarse threads that grip wood fibers as they're driven in.

They typically have flat or oval heads that can sit flush with or countersunk below the surface.

Distinguished from machine screws and sheet metal screws by their thread pitch and taper: I need some wood screws to attach the hinges.
