Fasteners are critical to a number of applications across industries, serving as hardware devices that conjoin two or more objects together in either a permanent or non-permanent fashion. Depending on the project or operation, there may be a variety of fasteners that may fulfill your need.

Bolts are a threaded fastener type, meaning that they feature helical threading on their exterior in order to mate with a corresponding component with internal threading. Bolts are intended for the use of conjoining two or more components together in a non-permanent fashion, passing through a hole of an assembly and paired with a nut to hold components together through compression and clamping forces. While bolts are often compared to screws due to their appearance, they differ in their method of securing components, need for other fastener types for an assembly, and more. For bolts in particular, their uses include assembling machinery, walls, concrete, and more.

Screws are also externally threaded fasteners, featuring a helical ridge that allows for the fastening of an assembly. Unlike a bolt, a screw may create its own hole for fastening, digging and wedging into the material as torque is applied. Due to their self tapping abilities, the screw creates internal threading that prevents the screw from being removed easily by loosening or pull-out. Screws are most often used in applications where the strength of a bolt is not required, and they are often used to fasten materials such as wood, sheet metal, and plastic.

Rivets are a type of permanent fastener, ensuring the assembly is secure for the lifetime of the rivet. Rivets typically come in the form of smooth, cylindrical shafts with a rounded head. To fasten components together, the tail end of the rivet is passed through the hole of the assembly and upset. By deforming the tail end of the rivet, a second head is formed to hold the assembly together securely. Rivets are commonly used for applications such as bridges, boat building, and other assemblies that require accommodation for shear and tension loads.
