Preventive

Insert the correct kind of drive for the type of grub screw in question, and make sure it is securely seated Besides aesthetics, another advantage of using grub screws (with no leading or trailing edge exposed at the head end) is that they can often offer better resistance to weathering and corrosion as a result. They can also be driven with considerably more torque force than traditional screws, as the uniform diameter right the way along the full length of the grub screw shaft means that they don’t begin to split the hole apart as they go in further. Instead, the the surrounding material into which the set or grub screw is driven will work to reinforce the fastening as it goes in. A single dab of SCREW GRAB® creates a positive grip between metal surfaces (tests have shown as high as 800%) that virtually eliminates tool wear or rounding and deforming of fasteners. knurled point grub screws, which do much the same as cup point versions but also feature a serrated end for additional friction/grip When buying grub screws or set screws from most manufacturers and suppliers to the UK market, you'll usually find up to six different variants of grub screw shapes on offer. These include:

As stated in the section above, the most common uses for grub screws are to join or clamp one object or component tightly against another, but in specific scenarios where the use of a more traditional nut and bolt combination isn’t ideal for various reasons.

Try it!

Typical examples of uses for grub screws might include any situation where one object or component needs to clamp to another tightly via friction, but where protruding parts of the fastener would interfere with smooth functioning of the items in question. Grub screws for this purpose are especially widely used in architectural ironmongery, and are a very common feature found wherever door handles are attached to spindle shafts. Grub screws, also known as set screws, are a type of fixing screw that’s most often used to join one component or part securely to another. Set screws often do feature a head - very likely a hex fitting - but without a threadless section immediately below it (again, this is different to the length of unthreaded shank you’d typically find on a standard bolt). Because they often feature no protruding screw head in the traditional sense, true grub screws tend to be driven by means of a sunken internal recess at what is still generally referred to as the ‘head end’.
