Finishing
Washer
• Used to give a finished look to
exposed screw heads.

• Also known as flush


countersunk washers.
Malleable Iron Washer
• Large bearing surface designed to prevent 1/2″ bolt heads and nuts from
pulling into the wood.
• Hot dipped galvanized providing corrosion protection when required.
Flat Washer
• The flat washer has been around
since the Roman Empire.
• They were used in some of the
earliest known machinery
Fender Washers Fender washers get their name from the automotive world where they are
used to reinforce fenders and protect the car's bodywork.
•These washers can be so big that they almost look like oversized jewelry
Lock Washer
• A lock washer might look simple, but its design is quite ingenious: the twist or
split prevents fasteners from loosening over time, keeping everything secure.
• If you’ve ever had a rickety bike or chair, there’s a good chance a lock washer
helped prevent the screws from falling out!
Set Screw
• Set screws are small, stealthy,
and very effective in keeping
things in place without being
seen.
• Historically, they were first used
to lock mechanical components
in place, like on the gear shafts
in old steam engines.
Sheet Metal
Screws
• These screws are tough little
workers, designed to “bite” into
metal, making them perfect for
DIY projects, especially when
you want to avoid drilling holes
first.
• They come in many types, with
some having a special "thread
cutting" tip that allows them to
carve their own path into thin
metal sheets.
Screw Eye
• A screw eye is like a metal version of a hook—used to hang plants, picture
frames
• In some cultures, screw eyes are used in furniture design for hanging and
securing decorative pieces
Torx Head Screws

• The "star-shaped" design of Torx screws


was inspired by the need for a better,
more reliable drive that wouldn't strip
out under high torque
• Torx is often called the "security" screw
because it’s used in areas where
unauthorized tampering is a concern,
such as electronics and automotive
applications.
Self Tapping
Screws
they carve their own hole as they
go
Invented in the early 20th
century, these screws
revolutionized construction and
manufacturing by reducing the
time spent on drilling pilot holes.
