Both screws and bolts use threads to create a spiral wedge, a simple machine. Screws have pointed ends designed to dig into materials and hold them together. A bolt requires a nut at the other end and pulls the two together to connect them.

What is a coach screw?

I've heard of clutch screw, refers to the type of head, like straight or phillips. Possible carriage bolt, a flat or slightly rounded head bolt with a square shank under the head. A coach screw is a large screw with a hex head. Searching on the internet I find that "Lag bolts" are sometimes called "coach screws". We think that a "coach screw" is a lag bolt on one end and machine treads on the other, uses would be like attaching a bathroom sink to wood stud walls.
