because with a screw you have much more area gripping the wood and cannot under normal circumstances pull it out without shredding the wood where a nail has much less area in contact with the wood and being held in by friction only can be simply pulled out without tearing or shredding the wood.

∙ 15y agoA screw has grooves that create a more secure hold in the wood compared to a nail, which relies solely on friction. Additionally, screws are less likely to pull out or become loose over time, providing a more durable attachment between the two pieces of wood.
A screw has threads that create more surface area contact with the wood compared to a nail, distributing the force over a larger area. This design helps to reduce the force required to drive a screw into wood compared to driving a nail.
A Phillips screw typically requires less effort force to turn than a flathead screw. This is because the design of the Phillips screw allows for better grip and less slippage when turning.
A steel nail is denser than water, so it sinks. The weight of the nail is greater than the buoyant force acting on it, causing it to sink to the bottom.
A rusty nail may weigh more than a new one due to the oxidation process. Rust is formed when iron reacts with oxygen, adding mass to the nail. The rust layer can make the nail heavier than when it was in its original form.
Yes, iron is a good conductor of heat due to its high thermal conductivity. As a result, an iron nail would be able to conduct heat efficiently.
A screw holds better than a nail.
A screw has an irregular shape, and has more to stop it from falling out. Also, A screw has an advantage because it's drilled in and the spirals makes it stick in faster and doesn't take long as a nail to hammer it.So, it takes a few seconds to screw the screw in.

A screw holds wood together better than a nail because the threading of a screw provides a horizontal grip on the wood. Nails are driven down into wood and have nothing but the pressure of the wood to keep them attached, which means it is easier to pull a nail straight out of a board than a screw.
because the threads hold them into place while as a nail works its way out at a point of time !
You can, but it is usually better to drill and screw something than to nail it. It will hold much better. You can use a power shot that shoots the nail in with a 22 cal. blank. You can use concrete nails and drive them in by hand.
A screw holds wood together better than any nail because it resists being pulled out much better. A screw is also easier to remove without damage. However, screws are more expensive to make and take longer to put in, so nails are still used in a lot of timber work.
Yes they do because a screw has an inclined spiral wrapping around it, which when "Screwed" into something, has a greater grip than a nail
nails can slip, under too much force. But screws are in a 'screw shape' lol. so can withstand alot of pressure/ force.
Screws are a more secure fastening than nails because the only barrier to removing a nail is the friction of the sides of the nail against the wood, so it can be pulled loose by a simple torsion force. A screw, however, has threads, so a torsion force cannot remove a screw without destroying part of the wood in the process.
A screw driver is more high-tech than a regular nail driver or hammer. A screw is a more holding tool than a nail. It has metal ridges around it to hold it in place. A screwdriver is used for putting a screw in an area to fastening to objects and/or parts together
