    • B.

      Screws are used for metals, plastics and wood

      Screws are more strong and stable

    • D.

      Nails are only in wood or wooden products

    Correct Answer
    D. 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.

      Self Tapping Screws are used to go over weaker Screws

    Correct Answer
    A. They are designed to cut their own threaded holes in hard materials
    Explanation
    Self-tapping screws are designed to cut their own threaded holes in hard materials. This means that they can create their own threads as they are being driven into the material, eliminating the need for pre-drilling a hole. This makes them ideal for use in hard materials such as metal or plastic where it may be difficult to create a threaded hole using traditional screws. Additionally, self-tapping screws provide a secure and tight fit, ensuring that the screw remains in place even under heavy loads or vibrations.

    Correct Answer
    C. 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.
