Coach bolts or coach screws?

Bolt or screw?

[Guy Dawson]

This is not the case. The key difference is that the valley of the screw threads concentrate the sheer forces on the metal at the bottom of the vally on the loaded side. With a plain shanked bolt this concentration does not happen and the load is distributed over a larger area.
