How to Choose the Right Sealey Screws & Workshop Fasteners
Fasteners should be selected around material, load, head style, thread and environment. Matching the screw properly gives a cleaner installation and reduces the risk of stripping, loosening or damaging the material.
Material + size + head
Use these checks to narrow the range before comparing individual products.
Check the base material
Different materials need different thread forms and fixing methods.
Use the right length
Too short can reduce holding power; too long can damage hidden surfaces.
Match the drive bit
Using the correct driver reduces cam-out and damaged heads.
Consider the environment
Moisture and corrosion exposure can affect the fastener choice.
What to check before you choose
Use the points below to narrow the range and avoid common selection mistakes.
Diameter and length
Size should suit the material thickness, load and any pilot-hole requirements.
Head and drive style
Countersunk, pan and other heads finish differently and suit different load/contact areas.
Installation quality
Correct pilot holes, driver bits and tightening control can prevent damaged fasteners and materials.

Quick answers before you choose
Can I use any screw in any material?
No. Thread form, point style and material should suit the substrate and application.
How do I choose screw length?
Allow enough engagement for the joint while avoiding hidden services, breakthrough or damage to the opposite face.
Why do screw heads strip?
Common causes include the wrong driver bit, poor alignment, worn tooling or excessive tightening torque.
