The standard wedge bolt consists of several key parts the bolt itself, a wedge, and a nut. The bolt is typically a threaded rod that allows for easy insertion and secure fastening. The wedge is a critical component that creates a locking mechanism when the bolt is tightened, effectively increasing the friction between the surfaces being joined. This action helps to prevent loosening due to vibrations, making wedge bolts particularly advantageous in dynamic environments.

Butterfly screws, also known as toggle bolts, are a type of fastener that features a pair of wings that fold during installation and expand once they are inside a pre-drilled hole. The design allows for a stronger grip on hollow walls, such as drywall, where regular screws might not provide sufficient anchoring. Butterfly screws are particularly useful for mounting heavier items like televisions, where the risk of falling can be a significant concern.
