Bolts & Fasteners

Besides the above mentioned differences between bolts and screws, bolts are used where more strength is required. To tighten a bolt, you turn the nut, whereas on a screw you turn the screw head. Screws have more threaded portions than a bolt.
Some books say that screws are below 5 mm and bolts above 5mm in diameter.
