    What is the difference between Screws, Bolts & Nails?

    • Screws & Bolts are stronger, but Nails are weaker

    • Nails come in different shapes and sizes, but Screws & Bolts do not

    • Nails can be made from steel, where as Screws & Bolts are made from brass or zinc

    Correct Answer
    A. Screws, & Bolts are non permanent and can be removed, where as Nails are permanent
    Explanation
    Screws and bolts can be easily removed and reused, while nails are designed to be permanent and difficult to remove without causing damage. This is because screws and bolts have threaded shafts that can be screwed into or out of a material, allowing for easy installation and removal. Nails, on the other hand, have a smooth shaft that is hammered into the material, creating a tight and permanent hold.

    Give a disadvantage of using Nails instead of Screws

    • Nails are more expensive

    • Screws are used for metals, plastics and wood

    • Screws are more strong and stable

    • Nails are only in wood or wooden products

    Correct Answer
    A. Nails are only in wood or wooden products
    Explanation
    The disadvantage of using nails instead of screws is that nails can only be used in wood or wooden products. This limits their versatility and makes them unsuitable for use in metals or plastics. Screws, on the other hand, can be used in a variety of materials including metals, plastics, and wood. Therefore, nails are not as versatile as screws when it comes to their applications.
