What happens here

The video then showcases light structural screws. These screws are presented as a potential alternative to traditional nails in certain applications. The main advantage mentioned is their 'higher shear strength' compared to nails. However, the presenter also adds a caveat, stating they are 'not always the best option' without further explanation, suggesting that while strong, they might not be suitable for all situations where nails are typically used.

Goal: Evaluate light structural screws as an alternative to nails.
