hex head screws with neoprene washers

Wafer head screws, as the name suggests, feature a flat, round head with a thin profile, resembling a wafer. This design not only ensures a clean, aesthetic finish but also provides a larger surface area for better load distribution, minimizing the risk of material splitting. Their primary function is to securely join metal studs, which are commonly used in non-load bearing walls, partitions, and ceiling systems, to create a robust and stable structure.

A wedge is a triangular-shaped object with two inclined sides that converge at a sharp point. It is primarily used to separate or hold objects apart. In engineering, wedges are often employed in applications where a large force is required to overcome resistance or to create space between components. For instance, a wedged structure can be used to secure heavy machinery or to prevent the collapse of unstable structures during construction.
