Hardware Nuts Bolts Washers

Hardware fasteners like nuts, bolts, and washers are essential mechanical components used to securely join materials together.

Core Components
Bolts: External threaded fasteners with a head on one end. They pass through materials and pair with a matching nut.
Nuts: Internal threaded components ("female" fasteners) that thread onto a bolt to apply clamping pressure and hold pieces together.
Washers: Thin disk-shaped pieces placed between the bolt head or nut and the surface material.
