Yo Jeff , you the man . I ain't never had a father to show me all this stuff but watching your videos and listening to your vivid explanations kind of gives me an idea of how that would be like. Thanks a lot !
That’s actually fuckin awesome man. I had my dad but he was a business man and was great despite some bs but he was a immigrant also so I had to figure out all this kind of stuff
I'm like you. Never had a dad. Everything i know, i had to learn on my own. Had frie n dd that i lived with that taught me stuff, but it would of been better if dear old dad would of stuck around.
Im new to jeffs channel and came across it by just scrolling through the TH-cam timeline..I click on a random video and within 5 minutes of hearing how he explains everything and just his overall knowledge entirely made me an instant fan..I just sit and binge to his videos and try to soak up everything he says..
OMG every time I watch these videos the information is soooo much i never heard before that i have literally go back and tear down all of my home remodeling projects and start over and get the right materials for the space..So I guess its back to the starting line...
I never got involved in anything construction or mechanical. I am now 51 years old and have been embarrassed on many occasions wishing I knew something/anything. What’s a “five eights”? I sincerely appreciate these videos and the demeanor in which you handle yourself, Jeff. I don’t care what money you make from this - it’s not enough. You have helped thousands upon thousands of people. How awesome to have found your purpose and it being to teach people what you are passionate about. Thank you.
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.
Glad it was helpful! Also very important. projects can fail when you use the wrong fastener. This should help to protect DIY'ers from problems. cheers!
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.
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"
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Thanks a lot for this video. I started doing rehabs on rental units recently and have been challenged with repairs/tasks I've never done and this channel has been a lifesaver. Thanks again for your awesome presentations!
great video as always... this video should be playing non-stop at Lowes and Home Depot hardware isles to explain the different type of screws/nails/fasteners :)
Thank you for such an excellent video. This is a great reference to review for future use on different projects or to refresh our memories if we don't work on projects as often as others do.
Fantastic video thanks. All I would add is the GRK rss screws. structurally rated and weather proof guaranteed along with treated wood contact. It is my go to screw for indoor and outdoor rough projects. And the grk rss that replace lag bolts are just cool.
I always laugh when looking at the salt water contact stainless they have. They can be multiple dollars per screw. As with anything you have to find the bulk pricing. Still expensive but more reasonable in boxes over 200.

I would love to see a video like this, but about different types of anchors and when to use one over the other. What's best for bricks, concrete, blocks, etc...
Such a useful video!! This explains a lot. I always thought a nail was a nail until I started watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your information. Your videos are like DIY courses.👨🏼🔧 I need a notebook and pencil to take notes. And the membership program is like getting your questions answered and advice directly from the professor👨🏼🎓. . . And it all costs much less than tuition for school❣️ Thank you for all your hard work. It is appreciated!
I'm waiting for you to come to California, jeff! You could make so many videos on my 1954 house its not even funny! 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and a lot of flooring.
Now that gave me so much information I need at this moment building my little shed, reattaching my aluminum deck cover and all my dry wall I have to install! I was kind of lost when you were talking about the hole in the board.. I’m thinking that’s a side view? Thanks as always for another great video!
We've used crown staples to put down luaan due to it being so thin for the underlayment for tile. Screw wood sink in and split the wood several times. Holds better just like economy board :-)
please explain nailing crown molding with the 18 ga staple from reverse? pre assemble at corners only ? i must do it the hard way, scab blocking or locate studs /joists/ mark/ fit /nail . scarf joint only when necessary.
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.
Thank you for this video. What screws do you recommend for the 0.5-inch plywood or OSB external walls to connect to 2x4 studs? Would drywall screws work? The siding will be installed on top.
I needed to know which screw to mount 7/16" OSB sheeting to 2" x 4" studs inside my garage so I can mount anything anywhere on it without special brackets etc. - Based on your video, it appears an 1 1/2" construction or flooring screws would be best. - I want to just want to use clear poly over the OSB. Any idea how to get the mill stamp off the middle of it? - Which head drive type? a. Torx by far can take the most torque without rounding out the head or bit, and all high-torque screws use them. b. Robertson/square has one advantage over the Torx and that is that the bit doesn't fall out in the horizontal position thereby freeing up a hand to position or steady the work when you are running in the screw. Users don't seem to have many issues with it rounding out the head so apparently it is adequate. c. Phillips advantage is it is the most common and doesn't require a special tool nor even an exact size bit to match. However, it requires considerable downward pressure to prevent it from stripping out the head and tool which often happens. However, I just bought a driver (based on one of your videos) instead of using a drill, so maybe with a driver this is not much of an issue? *Which do you most commonly use? Thanks!
I used those screws with the neoprene washers to attach some pvc boards to my screen enclosure to make a ledge for the cats. The bottom half of the screening is Florida glass (or whatever that screening is called) and they couldn't see out. Now they're happy.
The plate that you discuss at the 4:24 mark onwards is called a nail plate.I'm not trying to annoy you,I say this because I was in need of nail plates and had a heck of a time finding them because I did not know the proper name for them.Many contractors take it for granted that because they happen to know what they need/are talking about everyone else does also which is not always the case so it's imperative that contractors do their best to disclose the names of the parts and building materials that they are discussing.Thank you for your video.
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.
I’ve been wondering how I will be tackling my popcorn ceiling on my new house. Didn’t expect a good solution to the problem on your fastener video 😂. You should do a vid on removing that crap haha! Im newer to the channel, (first time home owner as of February 2020) and your channel has saved us $ and headache.
would you use the structural hex head hanger screw on inside of hanger won't it keep wood from fully going into hanger or is the gap on purpose to allow for expansion and air to dry end of wood?
Iam guessing would I use the fine thread drywall screw for metal studs that have wood blocking. All three materials really drywall, metal stud with wood blocking. Also would I use that same screw if I wanted to attach the wood blocking to the metal stud? Iam trying to mount a tankless water heater, thanks
Yo Jeff , you the man . I ain't never had a father to show me all this stuff but watching your videos and listening to your vivid explanations kind of gives me an idea of how that would be like. Thanks a lot !
My dad died before I got a chance to need help with this kind of stuff and Jeff is great isn't he!!
That’s actually fuckin awesome man. I had my dad but he was a business man and was great despite some bs but he was a immigrant also so I had to figure out all this kind of stuff
I'm like you. Never had a dad. Everything i know, i had to learn on my own. Had frie n dd that i lived with that taught me stuff, but it would of been better if dear old dad would of stuck around.
No double negatives. It’s I never had
@@privatedankgaming353who cares?
0:13 - 0:22 Love the wry smile after the dad joke! OK, I just had to comment that before I go on and watch the rest of the video!
3:15...my mind got blown right there....Thank you for that information!
You are the most knowledgeable contractor I've ever seen.
And an amazing instructor .
Wow, thanks, I still have plenty to learn, but happy to share what I have learnt up to this point. Cheers!

5/8 of an inch. No need to be embarrassed, even people 30 years into construction will learn new things. Its vastness can be extremely humbling
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.
0:19 Jeff took a moment to appreciate his awesome pun :D
Amazing content as always
Oh this is perfect! I've long wondered what the differences are between all these fasteners. The clarity of your explanations is amazing.
Glad it was helpful! Also very important. projects can fail when you use the wrong fastener. This should help to protect DIY'ers from problems. cheers!
Don't stop sharing! Love your help. You have no idea how much you have helped. Thank you lb
What you called a pan head is actually a flat head, and vice versa. Love your videos!
yup, he got it backwards
Yes
Wow! Thank u. That worked out much better than the Home Depot trip would have.
Omg! This is my favorite video! I have zero clue about screws and this will be my go to!
Thanks!
Wow, I un-retired 6 months ago and took a job in a popular, (not big box) chain store. This info just made me better there in so many ways. Subbed.
The gurus for plenty men like my self thank you Jeff I really do appreciate you and all your efforts thanks again Sir !!!! 👍👍
You can't erase the perma smile in the face. Awesome videos...

Which screw do you use for green board to wood stud behind it? Thanks for the video
I really like these 5-20 min ones
Nice job, thanks!
I usually use a power stapler for T50. A lot of my stapling is T25 round staples for attaching wire to walls.
I’m getting things completed slow but with your instructions I’m more confident . Thank you Jeff.
This was the greatest video I have ever seen on fasteners. Thank you so much.

Hi Jeff! How are you? What is the best place to buy screws in bulks? Thank you in advance!
Come on Jeff, my inspiration for all my diy projects. Flat head is for counter sinking, pan head is round on top.
Super handy vid.
