It is easier. The question is not complete enough to be answered. The word EASIER needs to be further defined. so the question should read: What is easier to [add information here]; more screw threads or less screw threads?
A worm drive.
a screw with closely spread threads
the threads determine the depth the screw should move
A screw that screws into a screw works by using its threads to grip onto the existing screw and create a secure connection. The threads on the screw being inserted match the threads on the existing screw, allowing them to twist together and hold in place.
Bigger threads would make a sheet metal screw or wood screw bite in better, but it would make it harder to turn. A machine screw would need a nut with matching threads, but there wouldn't be much of an advantage.
screw thread are single threads which means they are not double
A screw is a fastener that is similar to a nail, but it has threads.
The hole that you put a screw into is referred to as a "tapped hole". The rib-like things in the hole are called "threads" or, more specifically, "internal threads" as opposed to the external threads on a screw.
The threads are what make it work. As you will know if you have tried to use a screw with stripped threads, it is useless. That is because a screw is a simple machine built from an even simpler machine: the inclined plane. The threads are an inclined plane wound around the outside of the screw, and are what change the twisting motion into a lifting motion.
