2. The main characteristics of the product
Wide selection of specifications: With a wide range of metric specifications such as M1, M1.2, M1.4, M1.6, M2, M2.5, etc., and lengths ranging from 3mm to 60mm in 1mm or 2mm gradient increments, such a rich combination of specifications can satisfy your meticulous needs in all kinds of precision DIY projects. Whether it's thin plastic materials, delicate electronic components, or thin metal sheets and wooden boards, all of them can be accurately matched to ensure a tight and solid connection, avoiding loose connection or material damage due to unsuitable specifications.
High-quality 304 stainless steel material: Choose high-quality 304 stainless steel, this material contains enough chromium and nickel elements, so that it has excellent corrosion resistance, can resist the daily life of water vapor, salt, weak acids and alkalis and other erosion, effectively preventing rust, to maintain the structural integrity of the screws and aesthetics. At the same time, 304 stainless steel has good strength and toughness, under the premise of ensuring that the screws are not easy to deform or break, but also adapt to a certain degree of bending and twisting, providing a stable and reliable connection for your DIY works.
Flat head Phillips design: Flat head design makes the head of the screw flush with the surface of the workpiece or slightly lower than the surface after installation, which is not only beautiful but also avoids scratching and obstruction caused by the raised head of the screw, which is especially suitable for precision DIY projects with high requirements on appearance and space. Phillips slot design is convenient for you to use common Phillips screwdriver for operation, the head and slot closely match, easy to apply force, whether manually tightened or with a small electric screwdriver, can easily realize fast and accurate installation and removal, greatly improving your work efficiency and convenience of operation.
Exquisite manufacturing process: each machine screw undergoes strict manufacturing process and quality inspection process, with clear and regular threads, even pitch and smooth surface without burrs. This high-precision manufacturing process ensures the smoothness of the screws in the process of screwing in and screwing out, reduces the damage to the fixed material, and also improves the stability and reliability of the connection, so that you can feel the smooth experience of using the screws in your DIY operation and complete various delicate projects with greater ease.

Electronic equipment repair and fabrication: When repairing electronic equipment such as cell phones, tablets, small speakers, etc., M1 - M2 screws are commonly used to fix the housing, circuit boards and internal parts. Their fine specifications can adapt to the narrow space and precise structure inside the electronic equipment, ensuring a solid connection without damaging the equipment. At the same time, the conductivity and corrosion resistance of stainless steel can also meet the special requirements of electronic equipment, to avoid rust or poor contact and affect the normal operation of the equipment. In addition, for electronic enthusiasts to make their own some small circuit board enclosures, sensor devices, etc., these screws are also ideal to help them create a delicate, reliable electronic products.
Jewelry and Crafts: M1 - M1.6 screws provide just the right amount of clamping force when making jewelry boxes, small metal crafts, wooden ornaments, and other items that require delicate connections. They can securely join thin metal sheets, small pieces of wood, gemstone holders, etc., and the small size of the screws does not detract from the overall aesthetics of the piece. For example, when making a wooden jewelry box with gemstones, M1.2 screws can be used to fix the hinges of the lid and decorative fittings, which makes the jewelry box both delicate and durable, and meets your pursuit of personalized, high-quality jewelry and handicrafts.
Model making: Whether it is building model, airplane model, car model or ship model, M1 - M2.5 machine screws can play an important role. When building the frame of the model, fixing the shell and connecting the parts, these screws can provide precise connections and ensure the structural stability of the model. For example, when making a wooden building model, M2 screws can be used to fix the walls and beams, simulating the structural connection of a real building; while when making a metal airplane model, M1.4 screws can be used to connect the wings and the fuselage, making the model stronger and more aerodynamic, and making your modeling more realistic and professional.
Assembling and repairing small household items: For assembling and repairing some small household items, such as photo frames, small bookshelves, lampshades, etc., these machine screws are also applicable. When you need to replace the back plate of a photo frame, adjust the height of a bookshelf divider, or repair the fixture of a lamp, the M1.6 - M2.5 screws can accomplish the task easily. They can securely fasten wooden, plastic or metal parts, so that your small household items can be restored to functionality or given a new look, adding a sense of convenience and coziness to your home life.

Choosing the right specification: Before starting your DIY project, carefully choose the right specification of machine screws according to the type and thickness of the material to be fastened and the force it needs to withstand. Refer to the specification charts and suggested usage scenarios we provide to ensure that the diameter and length of the screws can meet your fastening needs. For thinner or softer materials, you should choose smaller size screws to avoid material rupture; while for connection parts that are subjected to greater tensile force or pressure, you need to choose screws with appropriate diameter and length to ensure the stability of the connection.
Preparation tools: You need to prepare a Phillips screwdriver of the right size and make sure that the screwdriver's bit matches closely with the screw's Phillips slot, so as to avoid damaging the screw slot or the screwdriver's bit during the installation process. For some delicate electronic equipment repair or modeling projects, it is recommended to use a small, precision Phillips screwdriver for better operation. If you need to handle a large number of screw installation jobs, you can also consider using an electric screwdriver, but be careful to control the torque to prevent over-tightening.
Installation Steps:
Align the screw with the area to be secured and gently rotate the screwdriver to initially enter the threaded hole. Take care to keep the screw perpendicular to the surface to be fixed to avoid tilted installation resulting in thread damage or poor connection. For some harder materials, such as metal, you can start by pre-drilling a pilot hole using a drill bit slightly smaller than the screw diameter, which will make the screw easier to screw into while reducing the risk of cracking the material.
Turn the screwdriver slowly and gradually tighten the screw. During tightening, apply force evenly, rotate the screwdriver in a clockwise direction, and do not rotate at too large an angle each time to avoid uneven force on the screw. For some connections that require high fastening force, such as the key structural parts of the model, the screws can be tightened gradually over several times, and the flatness and stability of the connection can be checked after each tightening to ensure that the screws are evenly stressed and closely fit the material to be fixed.
According to the actual situation, determine the degree of screw tightening. Generally speaking, in electronic equipment and precision crafts on the tightening to the screw head and the surface of the workpiece can be tightened to closely fit, to avoid over-tightening lead to material deformation or damage to the internal components; and in some of the home to withstand a greater external force of small objects, you can increase the tightening strength, but also pay attention to do not exceed the material's tolerance limit. In some projects that require higher precision, such as model making or electronic equipment maintenance, you can use torque wrenches to tighten in accordance with the specified torque value to ensure that the tightening force of each screw is consistent, to ensure the normal operation and performance stability of the equipment or model.
