I prefer the more specific term as appropriate. Fastener is general. Nail, screw, rivet, etc.
Like "lager" and "ale" are types of beer.

"lager" and "ale" are types of beer.
But in many places, (such as commiefornia) an "ale" can legally be stronger than beer, and you can't label it "beer" unless it has a low alcohol content such as 5%abv or less. --Even though most everybody still just calls all of these brews 'beer.'

But that wasn't the OP's question.

Very true, but to be specific, you brought up the beer topic. lol. I would not have said anything if you had not mentioned ale, because ale is considered by many to be a separate, stronger alcoholic beverage, not a subcategory of beer.
"Lager" and "pilsner" are types of beer
would have been better.
ale noun
A fermented alcoholic beverage containing malt and hops, similar to but heavier than beer.

Can you be more specific? Nails are also fasteners. Propellers are also screws.

As a German fren, technical nuances are sometimes lost on me. Knew about the propellers, believe it or not but they're called 'Schraube' in German also. Depending on context, the word can stand for a propeller or e.g. an M8 'fastener'.

A screw is not a fastener, Klaus. A fastener is some do-dad thing-a-ma-jig that isn't a screw or a nail.

Do-Dad Thingamajig? I can only get so erect, honey.

An M8 is technically a bolt or machine screw?

THAT explains such an odd question...I only say fastener if a) It says so on the package, or b) I for some reason don't know the name of said fastener, but know that it fastens

They aren't the same thing. So I don't see how a simple yes or no answer the question.

A fastener is generally something like a button or zipper that can be undone at will. Where a screw, while "temporary" is generally permanent as it requires a permanent hole to be drilling or made to be usable. Also unscrewing a screw ruins it's ability to secure itself in the future.

Depends on application. Fasteners are typically used in applications where something could need to be removed in the future, like a door panel. Screws are more permanent.

You are exactly backwards. You are much more likely to use a screw for something that will be removed because they come out a lot easier and with less damage than digging out nails.

Nails aren't considered fasteners. Nails are meant for applications where something shouldn't come apart. Nails work best when weight and other items are used to prevent movement.

What? That's simply not true. Nails are used to frame houses and hold on sheathing. There are no weights used to hold it in place or keep it from moving or any silliness like that. Yes, nails are used for stuff not meant to come apart, you got that part right, and that's exactly what I said in my comment.

What? Is "unscrew" not a word anymore?

That only really works when screwing metal to metal and you've tapped it. When you remove a screw holding two dissimilar materials together (plastic to wood), the screw will never hold the same once removed because you'll be cross threading when driving the screw back in, and making the hole bigger. The risk of cross threading is also why you should hand start nuts, bolts and machine screws.

You are correct sir. If it is something that may be removed at some point you would use bolts and nuts instead of screws. Once a screw has been removed it will never hold as good as it originally did. The threads will not be as tight.
