Tiny But Mighty: 5 Benefits of Miniature Screws

It’s no secret that screws are handy for quickly building materials and holding strong connections. In fact, the U.S. screw, nut, and bolt manufacturing industry reached $30 billion just three years ago.

But miniature screws also come in handy for a wide array of projects when larger custom fastener options aren’t available. Here are some of the key advantages of miniature screws:

1. Easier to remove. Miniature screws are strong and hold fast to the items and materials you’re piecing together. But they’re also easy to take out when you’re looking to replace a part or move the screw somewhere else because they require less force for installation. This is key for fast and efficient work.
2. Save money on materials. When you remove a screw from your project, there’s a chance the screw can become damaged. This is usually the case if the screw was difficult to install. Regularly replacing damaged screws can be costly. Fortunately, you don’t have to worry about that with miniature screws. Because micro screws can be easily installed and removed, there’s less risk of damaging the screw. That means they can be easily reused if needed.
3. Faster production times. Tools that keep you from working efficiently are tools that cost you money. Micro screws are easy to install and remove, which makes for easier and more efficient production. The result? Saved time and money.
4. Plenty of variety. Miniature screws have all the variety of regular-sized screws. No matter what your project needs, you can find the diameter, thread pitch, and thread length that works for you.
5. Less waste. Not only are you saving money on materials when you use micro screws, but you’re also reducing the amount of waste you or your business is creating. This is great for the environment and for your company brand. It also means you’ll need to make fewer trips to the recycling center every month to recycle your screws and other steel materials, which also helps to save valuable time.
