❓ Frequently Asked Questions – Knurled Thumb Screws
1. How do I measure the length of a knurled thumb screw?
For these round flat head thumb screws, the length is measured from the underside of the head (where the knurling ends) to the tip of the threaded stud. The head itself is NOT included. For example, an “M4 x 10mm” screw has a 10mm long threaded shaft under the head. All our lengths follow this standard.
2. Are these screws fully threaded? What about longer lengths like 40mm?
Yes – all M2 to M6 screws in this range are fully threaded from under the head to the tip, ensuring maximum grip in tapped holes or when using a nut.
3. Will 303 stainless steel rust? Can I use these outdoors?
303 stainless offers good corrosion resistance, similar to 304. They are suitable for indoor use and light outdoor exposure (e.g., covered patio or occasional moisture). For continuous saltwater or harsh chemical environments, consider 316 stainless. For most computer cases, toys, and furniture, 303 is perfectly adequate and will not rust.
4. Do I need a nut or washer with these thumb screws?
If your equipment has a pre‑tapped hole (e.g., a threaded boss in a plastic case), no nut is needed. If you are fastening through a plain hole, use a standard metric nut of the same thread size. A flat washer is optional for load distribution.
5. What is the knurling like? Is it comfortable to turn?
The head features a fine diamond knurling pattern that provides excellent grip without being sharp or uncomfortable. You can turn it easily with your fingers, even with light oil or sweat on your hands.
6. Can I get other colours? The product description mentions “multi colour”.
This listing is for natural stainless steel (silver). For coloured anodised aluminium knobs or other finishes, please check our other listings or contact us for custom orders.
