What is another word for bolts?
Pronunciation: [bˈə͡ʊlts] (IPA) 
Bolts are fasteners that are used in a variety of applications, from construction to machinery to household fixtures. Some common synonyms for bolts include screws, nails, studs, rivets, and pins. Screws are similar to bolts but have a threaded shaft and are usually used to join materials together by turning them into pre-drilled holes. Nails are similar to bolts in shape but are usually made of softer materials and are hammered into place. Studs are like bolts but are threaded on both ends and are often used in electrical wiring and plumbing. Rivets and pins are used to join materials together permanently and are inserted into pre-drilled holes before being expanded or secured in place.
