Depending on the application, a screw will hold better than a nail. Screws can shear or break under loads that a nail would more easily handle though. This is due to how the two are manufactured. Screws are turned out of the machine that makes them almost as if they are being carved to give them threads which can weaken them. Nails are stamped to form the head and there are no threads, which gives them more strength to withstand loads

Can wood filler effectively hold a screw in place?
Wood filler is not designed to hold screws in place effectively. It is recommended to use a proper screw anchor or pre-drill a hole before inserting a screw into wood for a secure hold.
Can you insert a screw into wood filler?
No, you cannot insert a screw into wood filler. Wood filler is a material used to fill in gaps and holes in wood, but it is not strong enough to hold a screw in place. It is recommended to drill a pilot hole into the wood before inserting a screw for a secure hold.
What is the holding power of a dry wall screw into metal stud?
They hold very well, better than into wood.
How can I repair a stripped wood screw hole?
To repair a stripped wood screw hole, you can fill it with wood filler or toothpicks and wood glue, then reinsert the screw. Alternatively, you can use a larger screw or a screw anchor for a more secure hold.
Can you please tell me the step to step process on which holds better wood a nail or screw?
don't know what you mean by step by step process, but I can say with confidence that a screw will almost always hold better.
How do you properly secure a screw into wood filler for a strong and durable hold?
To properly secure a screw into wood filler for a strong and durable hold, first ensure the wood filler is fully dried and hardened. Then, pre-drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw diameter to prevent splitting. Next, drive the screw into the wood filler using a screwdriver or drill, making sure it is flush with the surface. This will provide a secure and long-lasting hold.
How do you properly secure a screw into wood?
To properly secure a screw into wood, first choose the correct size and type of screw for the job. Use a screwdriver or power drill to drive the screw into the wood, making sure to apply even pressure and keep the screw straight. Pre-drilling a pilot hole can help prevent the wood from splitting. Finally, make sure the screw is flush with the surface of the wood for a secure hold.
Can you put glue in the hole to hold a screw?
Yes, you can. If the wood is stripped out, another trick is to put several toothpicks, matchsticks or splinters in with the glue and then put the screw in place. That will provide better holding power than just the glue.
How can I use wood filler to screw into damaged wood surfaces effectively?
To use wood filler to screw into damaged wood surfaces effectively, first clean and dry the damaged area. Apply the wood filler to fill in the damaged area and let it dry completely. Once dry, drill a pilot hole into the filled area and then screw in the screw. This will provide a secure hold in the repaired wood surface.
Why is it easier to insert a screw into wood than to insert a nail?
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.
What is the best type of adhesive to use when securing a wood screw into place?
The best type of adhesive to use when securing a wood screw into place is wood glue. Wood glue creates a strong bond between the screw and the wood, ensuring a secure hold. It is important to choose a high-quality wood glue that is specifically designed for woodworking projects.
