Flat head screws are fasteners designed with a flat top and a tapered underside, allowing them to sit flush with the surface of the material they are fastened to. This design is particularly useful in applications where a smooth finish is desired, preventing snagging or interference with other components. These screws are commonly used in woodworking, metalworking, and construction. They can be driven into materials using various tools, such as a screwdriver or power drill. Flat head screws come in various sizes and materials, including stainless steel and brass, making them versatile for different projects.
