A nail has a smooth straight shaft and a flat head that requires a hammer to pound the nail in. A screw has rivets on the shaft and the head has a shape to it so a screwdriver is needed to screw in the screw.
What is the use of srew driver?
A screw driver is more high-tech than a regular nail driver or hammer. A screw is a more holding tool than a nail. It has metal ridges around it to hold it in place. A screwdriver is used for putting a screw in an area to fastening to objects and/or parts together
Which screw is equal to a 16 penny nail?
You cannot use a screw to replace a 16 penny nail, as it will not have near enough shear strength. You can easily see this in action by driving a nail halfway into a board, and likewise sinking a screw halfway down. Now hit them both with a hammer perpendicular to their direction of attachment. However, if your application is not structural you will want a 3.5" screw "coarse thread" or about 8 gauge...(coarse thread will look similar to a sheetrock screw thread)
What works better a screw or a nail?
a screw works better cues it has threads and a nail is just goes straight in the board. The nail is stronger but the screw holds tighter.
How do you hammer a screw without hitting your finger all the time?
You don't hammer screws. You hammer nails.The trick is to hold the nail just below the top. Then start tapping very gently. After a few taps the nail will stand up on its own. Then gently increase the strengh of the taps. This will alow your brain to get used to where the nail is. Also the nail will become stronger the further into the wood it goes.The most important thing is to be patient. Don't try to knock it in in three blows.If it's in a difficult place to hold the nail, I hold the nail in place with a small pair of pliers. Some people do hammer screws, just to put them in at the right place and then continue with a screwdriver.

Can you hammer a screw?
It is not a good practice, but people do it. Some will tap a screw with a hammer to start a hole. Others will drive it all the way in. That is bad for the screw and the wood.Hammering a screw is counter-productive and will not have good results:When you hammer a nail into wood, the sides of the nail compress the wood. The compressed wood wants to expand pressing on the sides of the nail. The pressure keeps the nail in place preventing it from coming out of the wood.When you hammer a screw into wood, the threads of the screw "chew out" the wood pressing it downward, possibly compressing it in a downward direction, leaving little or no wood to hold the screw in place The compressed wood, wanting to expand may tend to expand upwards pushing the screw out.

HOW DOES HAMMER WORK?
A hammer when swung in a downward motion contains energy. When the hammer strikes an object the energy is transfered to the object i.e a nail, causing the nail to move in a downward motion. One might ask the question how does a screwdriver work. The turning motion of the screwdriver upon a screw causes the screw to pull itself into, say, a piece of wood. Like the hammer energy is the important factor. Velocity and weight of the head

What hold two pieces of wood together better a screw or a nail?
A screw has an irregular shape, and has more to stop it from falling out. Also, A screw has an advantage because it's drilled in and the spirals makes it stick in faster and doesn't take long as a nail to hammer it.So, it takes a few seconds to screw the screw in.
