Wood Screws, Frearson flat head, Silicon bronze, #18

Wood screws are specialized fasteners designed for joining wooden materials. They feature a tapered shaft and a sharp tip for easy insertion into wood, with coarse threads that grip the material securely. Typically made of steel, brass, or stainless steel, wood screws come in various lengths and head styles, such as flat, round, or oval, to suit different applications. Their design allows for strong connections while minimizing the risk of splitting the wood.

The Frearson flat head screw, also known as a Posi drive screw, features a distinct, cross-shaped socket that allows for better torque and reduces cam-out compared to traditional flat head screws. Its design includes a flat, broad head that sits flush with the surface when installed, making it ideal for applications where a clean finish is desired. This type of screw is commonly used in various industries, including electronics and woodworking, due to its ability to provide a secure grip and ease of use.
