Captive fasteners, which include specialised screws, bolts and nuts, are a smart alternative to the standard, fully threaded fastener. The captive fastener is designed to partially screw into the threaded hole with a plain shank section, allowing the screw to go loose while remaining attached to a workpiece or other components.

🪛 Captive fasteners stay connected to the workpiece so that they do not fall out during maintenance
🔩These fasteners prevent loose metal from dropping into machinery or assembly work areas, reducing contamination and lost components
⏱️Captive fasteners save re-assembly time
