The shank above the threads on a wood screw is the same size as the outside dimension of the threads. Sheet metal screws have a shank the same size as the inside dimension of the threads and tend to break more readily in boatbuilding applications. Our bronze screws are easier to drive than hot-dipped galvanized and should it be necessary to grind off a corner they do not lose their corrosion resistance. Be sure to compare like quantities when shopping for fasteners. The price of 100 x 1.44 will give you a price to compare with ours, but we doubt you will be able to match our prices.
