Are screwnails still used? What advantage do they have over screws?
The advantage is you can hammer them in
You can hammer screws in. I know somebody who does that quite
successfully.
Oh, an idiot
and they won't easily pull out. Cheaper
Why would they be cheaper when the only difference is the presence of a
pozidrive head?
That's quite a big difference. Also, they tend to be mild steel, like
(ordinary) nails whereas proper screws are carbon steel and quite a bit
stronger.
