Being an Immigrant to Québec, Canada (the french province), you showing both US/Can vs. EU (SI) measurements was just amazing. *clapping hands in respect*
A SUPERB video, especially helpful in providing head measurements and downloads. The worst thing about Philips head screws is the tendency of the driver to cam out. If I ruled the world, only square-drive and Torx would be allowed...the only ones that can be driven back out without using downward pressure, which is the last thing you want when trying to REMOVE them!🤗
@@TrainingHandsAcademy i’ve been watching some of your videos.. fantastic stuff..i actually thought i already subscribed to it.. glad I did.. keep up the great info!
Thank you for this very informative video. I learned a lot. Your videos are excellent and I appreciate the professional presentations. Looks like my future projects will require more screwing -around than usual. Thanks again and keep up the great work.
@@TrainingHandsAcademy I would like to ask two questions if you don't mind. I am installing concealed cabinet hinges and would like to know what size self-centering bit I would need for #6x5/8" flat head wood screws and does it matter what type of 35mm Forstner bit blade style I use? I believe the cabinet is MDF but I could be wrong because it's laminated and I can't tell. I am putting new hinges on and oddly enough I can't remove the old broken hinges. It's like they're glued in place. The hinge screws only turn counter clock-wise but won't come out. Thank you for your time and help. All the best!
@@TrainingHandsAcademy Can you please tell me what size self-centering bit I would need for a #6x5/8" flathead wood screw? They're for concealed hinges going into an MDF cabinet. Thank you for your time and help!
I remember this music, it was played on Radio City Liverpool by a DJ, Norman Thomas really nice man. He used to play it every day , in the background as he did requests and notifications. My dad used to love it and said to me one day who is that? so i wrote a letter to Norman and asked him. A week later a letter came back. We ordered it at the local record store in Huyton Village, And they got it for us. My dad nearly wore a hole in it, he played it all the time. He passed away 3 years ago, but when i heard the music a few days ago my eyes streamed with tears as i remember him
I’ve noticed that in the US you explicitly state the pitch for metric screws. It’s maybe because you are accustomed to do so for all other screws. Unless you need a special screw you use the default pitch (coarse) screw. So, M6 without any other number implies 1 mm pitch.
Thanks for the great video! What heavy duty screws would you use to secure L-shaped shelf brackets into wall studs? The shelves are 2x12x6' solid wood boards. Is #10x2-1/4" ok, or can I go larger? Thank you.
@ 2:10 82 degrees? I'd love to know the rational behind this convention. I seems more natural to consider the axis running down the center of the screw, lengthwise, as the reference vector and then call the angle 41 degrees.
“Why because it has a big head, It can hold some pressure , but at the same time it has a flat enough profile that it’s not offensive” Yeah I’m gonna have to steal this quote my guy, entirely out of context of course 😉😬👌
Here in the UK Pozidrive is the most common type of screw. At the major stores that sell tools, building equipment etc pozidrive and torx (starhead) are the most common. Don't think I've seen philips screws being sold other than the ones that may be provided with flatpack furniture.
I love your videos and I would like to access such better tools at my carpentry workshop here in Uganda. How I wish you could guide me on how to get used tools at a better price. I just begun my small carpentry workshop which I would like to turn in an integrated youth and women Skilling centre at our home town in Busunga.
The vast majority of the screws I showed in this video were made of steel and zinc coated... which helps prevent rust. However, stainless steel and galvanized screws would be better for outdoor use... like those premium wood screws I showed towards the end. Does that help Muhammad?

it seems I'm locked into every Auto-language in CC there is but English. What do we do to alter this? Tried again in this video. It matters, as I have 3 different Language bases that watch this in our public school. At the present time it says we are Vietnamese (auto-generated) English. Want to watch as these are all very good. Just trying to make CC work for students.
Screw sizes is one of those unnecessarily complex things: Why gauge 4 is 3mm? why not gauge 3 = 3mm?? And why do we need threads per length if we already have the length?? We should just use: shape/diameter/length/threads like this: *t/1.5/10/15* meaning: torx/1.5⌀/10mm/15 threads - that's easy and straightforward and doesn't require any memorization.
I've been looking all around for an answer on my screw diameter question so I know that the # for the machine screw example you gave at 4:09 is not the GAUGE but the screw size which is based on major thread diameter, not gauge or AWG. A 6 gauge screw would be thicker than a 8 gauge screw. But the way screws are sized means that a #6 screw is thinner than a #8 screw. ruclips.net/video/37o2DWse0bY/видео.html
The lesson is lacking. There’s no explanation on selecting a gauge. For example, if #8, #10, and #12 screws all have a 2-1/2 inch screw length option, which gauge should be used? I assume it depends on the weight of the joined materials and how few screws you want to use.
@@TrainingHandsAcademy thanks, I have this cheap furniture made of particle board that were attached using plastic anchors and screws. Can I just use flathead screws? Or would it fall apart?
@@Zheta26 Yes, a flat head screw should work well and if you can find a course thread screw... that will hold much better in particle board. Hope that helps.

Awesome video. You answered questions that I didn't even thing to ask.
Glad I could help!
You speak very clearly, witch is so convenient for me since i dont fully speak English.
So., Thank you!
I truly never thought there would be so much to know about screws. Thanks for this. Very informative.
technology at its best. evolution for sure.
Being an Immigrant to Québec, Canada (the french province), you showing both US/Can vs. EU (SI) measurements was just amazing.

Finally ! Someone with the knowledge explaining things properly. I solute you my friend thank you.
A 3 year old video but still super valuable! Extremely well done video!
Thanks for the comment!
Thank You for You AMAZING videos! Your explanations are exaustive, easy to follow and smooth! WOW! thx thx thx!!!! and again thx!
Much appreciated! If you want to support my work, please drop some more comments on my other videos! This helps to wake up the YT algorithms. :)
Great overview, I learned several new things, thanks! And, as others noted, touching both metric and Imperial scales is very helpful.
Thank you so much for the comment.
Excellent again. No waffle. And I like that you include metric in your talk.
Thanks!
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas.

2 years ago and still helping! Thank you for your time.
Thank you for watching! I'm still here!
Thank you so much for the clear-up. I have been struggling with screws for the longest time and this video explains it absolutely well. . .
Thanks for posting this video. Although I have worked with screws a lot, there is always something new to learn!
great video..def a lot of things i didn’t know about screws.. thank you!
Glad it was helpful, and thank you for the sub! Let me know if you have any questions as you watch more of my content.
@@TrainingHandsAcademy i’ve been watching some of your videos.. fantastic stuff..i actually thought i already subscribed to it.. glad I did.. keep up the great info!
Oh my goodness! Who knew they were measured differently depending on the type. I learned so much! Love your videos.
Thanks Julie!
This was excellent! Just the kind of tutorial I needed.
Amazing video mate. And thanks for including metric measurements as well. Cheers from the UK!
Glad you liked it!
This video was very helpful. Thank you so much!

Good Information and thanks for the Charts.

Wish the links worked for the downloads.
I just fixed them. Let me know if you still have problems.
Really liking this channel!
Glad to hear that!

What about using wood screws made from zinc for wood projects?
The vast majority of the screws I showed in this video were made of steel and zinc coated... which helps prevent rust. However, stainless steel and galvanized screws would be better for outdoor use... like those premium wood screws I showed towards the end. Does that help Muhammad?

But what is the origin of the gauge number?
MY package reads only 2 numbers: 12 x 3, I have no idea what size to drill the pilot hole, can anyone help?
Send me a picture of the package on IG.

So sorry Billy, not sure what is going on. Can you get other RUclips videos to work, or is it just mine?
Now I need an automatic screw sorter.
That would be amazing! haha

I'm assuming in the rest of the world, it's just mm metric standard. LOL

Wait , why tf is US wire guage the reverse of screws? oh ffs
Good information but too many commercials.
Sorry Eric... I don't have control over how many they show.
This guy makes me want him
Am I supposed to know all this if I just want to find a screw to put my furniture back? Uhhh how men usually know these things
I can help if you want it. :)

You would be an excellent reference if only you were metric. Its not some people are metric it's only 350Mil are out of date.
