Difference between Bolts and Screws ??

Difference between Bolts and Screw is described in below article. Though both of them belong to the same family of fasteners and are used to join two or more components/ surface/objects together in a permanent or non-permanent joint.

Bolts - Bolt consist of a hexagonal head, a threaded cylindrical body and chiselled chamfer at the bottom. They are used in heavy-duty applications (concrete, studs, beams, etc)

1) Bolts are used in unison with washer and nuts.
2) Bolts have constant threaded body which provides greater strength.
3) Bolts posses higher holding strength due to threads on uniform threaded body.
4) Bolts do not cause any damage to the object as washer distributes the load uniformly and nut hold it in firm place.
5) Wrench is required to fit bolt with nut.
6) Bolts require washer and nuts to work.

Screws - Screws consist of a head part followed by a circular cylindrical tapering body with external threads on it and a pointy end at bottom to pierce into the surface when screwed. They  are used in light to medium applications (plywood, pressboard, drywall, sheetmetal, deck planks, etc)

1)      Screws are used independently.
2) Screws possess tapered body making it easy to drive in by tightening it with driver.
3) Screws can be used with existing threads or it can make its own thread by screwing withing the object.
4) Screw either requires a pilot-hole which need to be drilled within object thereby causing damage to object.
5) Screw-driver is required to drive screw inside.
6) Screw works on its own.
