Thank you so much for this video. I am about to rebuild our deck and your videos have taken me to a place where I am fairly confident, and the biggest concern I have had is making sure I get the correct fasteners and using the right ones in the right spots. Can't wait for more!

Jeff, your channel is so valuable for every kind of info anyone would ever need to do projects and be successful. I appreciate your efforts to teach and I know you make money doing this but appreciation is as valuable and you have mine. Sometimes you're a little too fast for an old man like me to grasp the info but I can always go back and listen again. THANK YOU for THIS CHANNEL.

I like the tip about covering up existing popcorn ceiling (2:20) by using the drywall laminating screws to hold up the drywall to the ceiling. I was dreading the idea of scraping off all the stucco so this is a great option! BTW Great video on the differences between fasteners; this video will go in my toolbox for sure.

0:19 Jeff took a moment to appreciate his awesome pun :D Amazing content as always

Thank you for putting this together. Would you mind doing a quick one on types of bit heads in your spare time? Philips, flat head, square, hex, torx, etc. There are a lot that are confusing and frustrating, especially when they strip. It might be worth including products like screw removers that drill a screw out if they are stripped. Keep up the great work. You are a great role model and mentor, and your videos have been a lifesaver.

Your dad jokes, intentional or unintentional, are great! This info is key for me. Thanks for doing it.

I think that you may have gotten some terminology incorrect or you guys up north just call things differently. At around 4:40 you start talking about the basic wood screw and say it has a pan head then the next screw you say has a flat head for particle board cabinet work. I think those heads are reversed from what I have learned over the years. The cone shaped head that is flush with the surface once fully fastened is the flat head. The screw with a rounded top head with a flat surface towards the threads is the pan head/round head/button head screw (all of these are actually different heads but of the same general style with slight variations). Other than that little note you are spot on with you fasteners. I never thought that this would be such a highly requested video. I guess being around construction and general mechanic work for many years has taught me some things I considered general knowledge. You did a fantastic job explaining the various types and uses of a wide range of fasteners and I think your viewers will be better off for it.

Love the 5/16 hex head for doing my 4x4 carport.

Each time I start a project I have to refresh myself on which fastener to use because it's not something I use everyday. This is a great video to keep all the info in one place. Thanks and thumbs up.

Awesome Video Jeff!! Saving this one for re-watching whenever I'll have work to do...! Thanks! 😊

I dont think I've ever been more entertained looking at screws. 😀

You know, I don't really plan on doing any home renovation, and I'm not sure how I found your videos, but I just wanted you to know I enjoy them very much, and now if I have to do home renovation, I now feel like I know more than I did yesterday.

Thank you, Jeff! I let out an audible gasp that scared my cat when I saw the title of this video. My very dear and wonderful late husband left me with a treasure trove of tools (many older hand tools, some very vintage from his machinist grandfather) and about 9,999,999 fasteners. I could stock a small hardware store, truly. Now, I'm not a total dummy when it comes to woodworking and basic construction, but OMG. More than once in the last three years I've found myself almost in a trance sitting in the garage gazing at nails, screws, nuts and bolts of every size and shape imaginable, trying to sort them (HA!) while wondering what the heck are they for, and why did my darling husband buy them. I laughed when you mentioned purchasing in bulk. Yep. That was him. If he needed two screws, he'd buy two dozen. Then at some later date if he needed the same type he could never find one, so he'd just go buy another 20 or 30. Sheesh! So, once again, many thanks for the very well done lesson on fasteners from a very attentive pupil. I've become a regular viewer, and love all of your videos.

Claire, like you, I had a ton of fasteners that landed on the basement workbench over the last 25 years! And I sorted them! What mystified me was the head shape and what would be the most typical application for flat, round, and oval in a "wood" screw and then, pan, truss, fillister and hex in the machine screw category! Geez! And why don't the threads go all the way to the top on some, leaving a smooth shank? Those seem to be mostly on exterior wood screws. Coated, galvanized, stainless steel.....? It made me feel like I needed to take a course on "Fasteners 101"

Hilti has had the shot concrete tools for years. My hubby used to work for Hilti and we own a couple of those guns.

One thing I've found working in the field with Tapcoms, stick s piece of wire in the predrilled hope then screw in the Tapcom. It really makes a heck of a difference in the hold.

Removing popcorn texture is super easy and doesn’t require buying new drywall to cover it up. Just a spray bottle with water and a 6” spatula scraper.

Omg! This is my favorite video! I have zero clue about screws and this will be my go to!

Dad joke within the first 30 seconds. A+ work!

HA - panel nails for anyone still in the ‘70’s. That WAS the last time I put up a whole room of paneling. Funny.

Thanks again, so much! QUESTION: Is there a trick to consistently, successfully using a T-50 STAPLER? Throughout my life, I have used at least 30 different T-50 staplers. Each and every one of them fail. And I presently own 3 or 4. Often the staples jam, often they do not drive the staples out at all. It is extremely frustrating. Very seldom have I been lucky enough to use a complete cartridge of staples without the stapler giving out.

I love everything about this man! Perfect teacher, real sense of humor, very knowledgable. I think Jeff is from Minnesota., Michigan, or Wisconsin...? It's that certain twang that is like home sweet home to me.

It's important to understand pilot holes & gliding holes when using fully or partially threaded screws and the implications for drill size or drill at all when trying to achieve compression between 2 materials.

This is sooooo informative for DIYers. Good stuff!

Good content. Very helpful topic. One correction though. Seems you switched pan-head and flat-head wood screws. Flat-head are flat on top, not the base where they contact the wood.

Thank you so much for this video! I'm wondering what the rule is for screws into a joist. So if I never want to put a screw more than 1 1/4 inches into a stud what does that mean for a joist since they tend to be wider? Since I'm asking, I'm working on suspended 2x8 foot shelving for the garage. Would love to see a video on that and how you would approach the project.

Great info on the fasteners. Makes me think about a question I have about the remodeling I'm doing. We are moving some walls and raising the sunken living room floor up to the same height of the main floors. Removing fall hazards for my wife. Would i be better off using my framing nailer or construction screws to make the new walls snd floors? I was planning on using screws as I thought in the long run they would hold better and not cause a squeaky floor. The air nailer might be faster. To be honest I bought the air framing market for a different project years ago but then didn't need it. Any advice is appreciated.

1940’s house with hardwood flooring in 2nd floor bedrooms that squeak badly. I want to carpet the bedrooms so do I use flooring screws through the hardwood to the joists or rip up hardwood then lay carpet? I really like your Channel. Very helpful ideas.

I was told by a Ramset rep that the older your concrete is the stronger the charge needs to be. In my case for a 1974 house he suggested the red charge (27 caliber) which is the strongest on the market and you need to buy the bigger Ramset Cobra gun which is the most expensive one out there of course.

Love your videos, going to be building a house soon so I've been watching a lot of them. Quick note about your 3 1/4" nail comment. I spoke with my brother in law who was a framer for many years, and he said they always use 16D Sinkers, but the CBC based on the IBC (I know you're not int eh states, but here in CA we use the CBC) states 16D commons and it further defines them a 3 1/2" by 0.165 diameter, and thats the same thing my structural engineer calls for on the drawings. Plus they don't accept the notched head type nails especially for shear panel nailing which is why a lot of nail guns use the plastic binding now. Anyway this is what I was told, so if you know otherwise, as in how is a 3 1/4" nail is acceptable when a 16D common actual length is 3 1/2 x 0.165 dia. I'd like to know, even though I looked all over and found a true 16D common nailer and bought 4000 nails for it lol. Again great videos, love watching your channel.

I think what you will find is that inspectors allow the 3 1/4 as a close enough sort of scenario. Kind of like the rule for stairs. each rise must be the same. In practice the inspectors allow up to 3/8ths of an inch variance. All rules are mean to to be broken a little . In DiY renovations the goal is to do acceptable work and not aim for best practices. It is a lot more affordable for homeowners with that in mind! Cheers!
