When you’re beginning a new DIY project you may not think about the difference between what type of fasteners you will use – nails or screws. Believe it or not there is a time to use one over the other. Here are a few reasons why you may want to choose a nail or a screw for your next project.
Nails
– Holds heavy objects well
– Can be hidden and filled in after placed
– Cheaper than screws in most cases
– More flexible under pressure
– Good for exterior uses, interior finishes and framing jobs
Screws
– Can be easily removed, good for temporary projects
– Often necessary to drill a starter hole to prevent splitting
– Better for projects where two pieces are joined together
– Causes less vibration or damage
– Good for decking, cabinetry and temporary jobs
