Butterfly Screws

Butterfly Screws, also known as wing screws, are specially designed fasteners featuring two wide, flat “wings” on the head, allowing for quick and easy hand tightening or loosening without the need for tools. The butterfly-shaped head provides excellent grip and leverage, making these screws ideal for applications that require frequent adjustment or disassembly.

These screws are commonly used in:

  • Light mechanical assemblies

  • Fixtures and displays

  • Furniture fittings

  • DIY and hobby projects

Butterfly screws are especially useful in scenarios where tool-less assembly is essential, or where users need to make rapid on-site adjustments.

Adfast Component offers butterfly screws in a variety of materials and finishes, including:

  • Stainless Steel (304, 316) – for corrosion resistance and durability

  • Zinc-Plated Steel – for general-purpose applications

  • Brass or Nylon – for decorative or non-conductive requirements

Available in both metric and imperial sizes, these screws are manufactured to meet quality standards, ensuring reliable performance and long-lasting service.
