Threaded fasteners either have a tapered shank or a non-tapered shank. Fasteners with tapered shanks are designed to either be driven into a substrate directly or into a pilot hole in a substrate.

    The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences.
