The screw, nuts, and bolt markets in the United States have seen a lot of changes in the kinds of products that consumers buy. Over the years, manufacturers have been coming up with unique screws and fasteners. Why is this happening? Because they know that consumers have different needs and they want unique screws to […]
Over the last few years, the use of micro fasteners has gained momentum due to the increase of electronic wearables and other devices such as laptops and tablets. However, the current use of micro fastener is not a recent innovation in the world. Studies show that the use of screws can be traced back to […]

No matter what industry you work in, fasteners such as screws and bolts are essential. These small components are a part of just about every piece of technology, building, household item, and more. In fact, more than 200 billion fasteners are used each year in the U.S. alone. However, not everyone knows about all the […]
Until 1928, screws were handmade, so no two were ever alike. The National Screw Thread Commission established the standards for screw threads, so screws were then able to be used interchangeably. Despite this fairly recent development, screws have been used for years. Their use in joining materials has yet to be outlived, and there’s no […]
Screws, or at least the concept of the screw, dates back to around 200 B.C. The market has expanded since those ancient times, but the function has remained the same; without fasteners of all shapes and sizes — whether they’re micro screws or two-inch custom shoulder bolts — the world as we know it would fall apart. […]
Screws are by far one of the most widely used fasteners in the hardware industry.

The concept of the screw dates back to around 200 B.C., although we’ve come a long way since then. The number of industries reliant on fastener options — from the biggest custom shoulder bolts to the tiniest micro screws — is staggering, and just a little bit surprising. The carpentry, metalworking, and construction industries are expected, […]
There are several fastener options in the markets, among them screws. Screws are the most commonly used fasteners after nails to join pieces of furniture, plastic casings for electronics, among other items. In 2017, screw, nut, and bolt manufacturing in the US brought in $30 billion in revenue. All screws generally have a similar design. […]
Fasteners have come a long way since the 200 B.C. concept of the screw; not only have we been able to establish a standard for screw threads for interchangeability (before 1928, screws had to be made by hand), but we have discovered and made metals stronger than ever before. These different types of alloys play vital […]
