- Corrosion Resistance Depending on the environment, choosing screws with adequate coating (like zinc or stainless steel) can help prevent corrosion and extend the lifespan of the fastening.

- Hybrid Systems These use both mechanical and chemical components, providing enhanced performance for critical applications.

2. Reduced Stripping Traditional screws can often strip, especially when dealing with tougher materials. Hex screws minimize this risk, as the shape of the head allows for better engagement with the tool, reducing the chances of slippage. This is a significant advantage for woodworkers aiming for precision and reliability in their projects.
