I bought curtain holders and a portable bidet

Screw Nails, Threaded Nails, whatever you call these, how do these work?

I don't know which the guy gave me for which, rod holder needs to be drilled into regular concrete and cement wall and the bidet holder needs to be drilled into tiles

I imagine nailing them into tiles would result in cracks? so it's for the walls

Literally just like a screw but with a poundy instead of a twisty

Depending on the application I might pre-drill some pilot holes

How do you get them out if you need to?

It’s a one-way ticket.
These ensure you destroy the plaster.
It’s 100% anti-consumer, and anti-diy.

Yeah it's literally like putting in a pre-stripped screw

From the threads and tip these look like self tapping concrete screws. You can screw them into concrete or masonry directly (i.e. without a jacket). Be very careful with masonry because it will crumble easily depending on the type of stone. With concrete, the limiting factor is the head you censored. It better be torx and large bore to boot (usually T27 or T30 for 6mm screws, T40 for 8mm ones) because they require a shitload of torque to cut threads into concrete. Forget about screwing them into tile - they'll require even more torque cutting into tile and that much force will absolutely crack the tile.

and the awesome part there is that any screwdriver type works equally well with the one in OP's pic.

Anon, you need to get your eyes looked at. The head has been shooped rather poorly with a blur effect and a square mask. It's very much a screw, not a rifled nail.

So a type of head meant for a high torque application such as:

I'm pretty sure these are just covid screws that failed quality because they have no face

I got one in a recent flat pack thing. The rest of the pack were normal.

QC is just fucked world over

What the fuck is this schizo nonsense. You're just posting retardation? If so, I get the bit, if not, post a link to somewhere that sells the screw in OP, because I don't believe it's real. That picture is obviously just blurred over the star slot

Occam's razor says it's probably a defect: a screw that did not get its head stamped. Another possibility is that it's not really a screw but a ring shank nail.

The original screw from which you took the image is a lot more interesting than your thread, though.

I feel like mine's a defect, because I checked what the guy gave me, and there's only 1 of these

Interesting tho, these type of screws, one way, perma fixed nail
