The heavy-duty nature of the coach screw sees them commonly used in decking, fencing, roofing, and heavy joinery applications. The hexagonal head allows for higher torque using a spanner or socket for a firm, reliable hold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow are coach screws different from coach bolts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA coach screw had a pointed tip more like traditional screws and threads directly into wood without a nut.
