Product Selection Differences for Tapered Screws

When selecting tapered screws, there are a few key differences to consider:

1. Material: Tapered screws come in various materials such as steel, stainless steel, brass, and even plastic. The material choice depends on the application, environment, and desired strength.

2. Head Type: Tapered screws can have different head types like flat head, round head, pan head, or countersunk head. The head type affects how the screw sits flush or countersunk in the material.

3. Thread Type: Tapered screws can have different thread types including coarse threads, fine threads, or self-tapping threads. The thread type affects how the screw grips the material.

4. Drive Type: Tapered screws come with different drive types such as Phillips, slotted, Torx, hex, or square drives. The drive type determines the tool needed for installation and the torque required.

5. Coating: Some tapered screws come with coatings like zinc plating, galvanization, or coating for corrosion resistance or aesthetics.

Consider these factors based on your specific needs and requirements when selecting tapered screws for your project or application.
