Overview

Boxes of screws contain 100 screws. You can turn a box of screws into 100 screws and vice versa using the crafting menus. Unlike boxes of nails or ammunition, boxes of screws do not provide any encumbrance reductions for you over unboxed screws. They weigh the same amount.

Usage

Screws are used in repairing vehicle parts. This is currently the only use for them.
