What will hold two boards together better a screw a nail or a bolt?

If we are speaking of only one fastner, then the bolt,especially if used with washers are far the best. It depends on how the boards are oriented. If you're trying to strengthen two planks (flat side to flat side) and you have the room (after they're installed) then bolts, washers, lock washers, & nuts are the best. Screws set in at angle will hold better than nails. If this is a permenant application, you can use liquid nails, but it really isn't necessary.

Stress on minor diameter of bolt when bolt is subjected to longitudinal force?

The stress on a bolt under longitudinal force is the total force on the bolt divided by the stress area. The stress area is a little bigger than the minor diameter area, calculated from the average of the minor diameter and pitch diameter. The total force on the bolt is its torque preload plus the (bolt stiffness/(bolt +member stiffness) x (externally applied load )


What is a crescent wrench used on?

A crescent wrench is very handy to have when you are working in a confined space or other places you cannot haul a whole toolbox into. -I have 4 different and use them for things I've never worked on before, with unknown bolt sizes. They are very handy, but not to be used on 'torqued' bolt heads in case you 'round' the edges of the bolt (unfortunately a very common error for amateurs)


What is the use of Squirter washer at moment connection takes place?

A squirter washer eliminates the need for a torque multiplier and torque wrench on structural A325 bolt connections. The indicator function of a squirter washer tells you that the optimal torque for a particular diameter bolt has been met. The second and even more practical function is so that during a visual inspection of the bolt, should vibration or wear cause the nut or bolt to come loose, the indicators retract into the washer, making inspection of a bolted connection a VISUAL, instead of a labor intensive torque check. These washers are in use in the construction and bridge building industry.

How do you remove the blades on a lawn chief 42 riding lawn mower?

Use a 9/16" Socket on a ratchet. There is one bolt in the center of the blade. Brace the blade with a block of wood to prevent movement. Loosen the bolt, remove the bolt and washers. Blade should come off easily now. Place your new blade in the spindle cradle and transfer the bolt and washers to it. Tighten with socket/wratchet. It's that easy! Unless, the bolt is stripped, in which case the mower deck will need to go to a machine shop to get the bolt out.
