For many of us, the default is to try to reuse materials from previous projects to save on costs and because we already have those materials around. However, is it safe to reuse screws?
Check out this video for some quick rules on when you should or should not reuse screws:
As the video said, do NOT reuse screws if
- They have exceeded the yield point
- They have wear and tear from external loads
- They will be used in critical applications
You can reuse screws, but if you are worried about the integrity of the screw, it might be best to get new fasteners.
If you have a specific question about a project or situation, reach out to us and we can give you the benefit of our expertise. Contact us at ProvenProductivity@bossard.com with any questions or concerns about fastener reuse!
