Ever wonder why the word screw is made, or why does, it makes cursing people with this word so effective. After making a prank on an old man by a younger boy, he had been shouted by the old man to screw himself. Having a metal frame hold wooden shelf is not a problem if you will just screw it properly in the right place.

Wooden shelves in metal frame are not easy to install because of the difference in the material. While the other is metal and the other wood so it is difficult to mount. Screws and bolt can do it, but using bolt will need a hole on it so self drilling screws are much fit for the job. These types drill itself on the material where you will put it into.

The materials to use is not also a question. You can use just a screwdriver or a hand drill. You just need a marking where you would put it and then screw it in place. All you need for that is the right tools and equipment and you are ready to make anything you want.

They have many variations from sizes and quality. Sizes have difference from the smaller 0.5 inch up to three inches or larger. The hardness and quality of the screw is upon the usage, whether it is for a metal application, wood or plastic.

The advantage of using these from a nail is big because it has a thread so it fastens much more. However, upon installation, screws is not like the nail that would use hammer and force. Application of these types only need a clockwise turn, but sometimes there are some that have a different thread so you will have to do it counterclockwise.

Local hardware have these kinds of screws and even inside the supermarkets you can buy some of these types of screws, but the variation in supermarkets is not as many. The type of these that you will buy will base upon where you will put it into. So before you buy one, be sure to check first to lessen the possibility that you would come back to replace what you have bought.

Uses of them is countless. Application of mounting in a wall is one of it. Imagine your flat screen television set hanging on the wall. It will make a bigger space in your living room. Screwing your mounting will fix the flat screen television nicely on the wall.

Roofing system is also one good reason to use these screws. Metal frames are now used for roofing that is why these type of screws are good for this job. If you are still using the bricks for our roofing, it may be outdated so you should have it replaced with a corrugated galvanized iron, which much easier to repair and install.

In everything we do in our daily life there is a solution to any problem. So if you are wondering about fixing a shelf that falls off from the wall, replacing your old roof with a new one, or installing your flat screen television in front of your couch, screwing it on place with the proper materials and equipment will probably fix the job. One more thing do not screw yourself on every problem you have in life.
