#screws — Public Fediverse posts

Screws look beautiful and I like to make them visible in products, but I have to admit that those hidden ones have some style too! It's based on a spring loaded mechanism and were invented by Jeff and Brandon Serle, who are cleanroom engineers.

BMW has invented #screws that only their dealerships can unscrew. 🤦‍♂️🔧 Because nothing says "luxury" like being held hostage by a screwdriver. 🚗💸

Primark’s Little Bear 2-Pack Soother Clips Injure Children. Their wooden buttons detach to expose sharp screws creating choking and laceration hazards. #primark #clips #children #screws #choke #lacerate #recall

Mark organizes all of his loose screws... and nuts, bolts, nails - you get the idea.

I'm working through bins of hardware, trying to combine what I already had with a trove my Dad gave me.

Interestingly enough, I found that sorting it tickles the same part of my brain that working on a jigsaw puzzle does.

Big Picture Science for July 14, 2025: Nuts and Bolts

REPEAT
How frequently do you think about fasteners like screws and bolts? Probably not very often. But some of them a storied history, dating back to Egypt in the 3rd century BC. They aren’t just ancient history. They help hold up our bridges and homes today. Join us as we dissect a handful of engineering inventions that keep our world spinning and intact.

Guests:

* Roma Agrawal - structural engineer and author of "Nuts and Bolts: Seven Small Inventions That Changed the World (in a Big Way)"
* Ron Gordon - watchmaker, New York City

I finished the couch leg installation. Turns out I just needed the four M8 bolts and four nuts, which I had on hand, no spacers necessary. Still not as easy a job as it seemed. More details in the alt text.

US hardware standards are INSANE.
Working on a prop for my action-figure photo comic, "Minions at Work," and I want to attach some decorative lamp finials upside down as legs for a piece of furniture. Go to store, get some screws. Easy, right? A standard 1/4" screw is 20 pitch thread. But a lamp finial is 1/4" 27 pitch, for reasons that probably made sense to Tommy Edison. Can't find screws like I want, even online. (cont.)

Removing Threadlocked Screws with a Soldering Iron - We’ve all been there – that last stubborn screw, the one thing between you and som... - https://hackaday.com/2021/10/04/removing-threadlocked-screws-with-a-soldering-iron/ #solderingiron #threadlocker #toolhacks #adhesive #how-to #repair #screws

Gah, stupid manufacturers and their weird #screws.
While I have a nice set of #Torx (with and without 'security' hole), #hex and the usual phillips and slot head #screwdrivers, apparently I need a bloody #pentalobe to disassemble my #Xiaomi #MiA1 phone.

While most replacement charging board sets come with the require tools including the screwdrivers, I was hoping to be able to open it up already to apply a quick-fix in the mean time...
