The shape of the countersunk head prevents the screw being removed once it's in place. Self-tapping screw

A screw has a head, a shank and a thread. Its length is measured from the pointed tip of the thread to the part of the head lying flush with the surface it's screwed into. The gauge is the diameter of the shank. Raised-head screws have heads that sit above the surface, countersunk screws have heads that are flush with or sink below the surface. Screws can have slotted or crossed heads - cross-headed screws being easier to drive in than slot-headed ones, especially with a power screwdriver. Screw gauges Round nail with rings around its shank to make the fixing more secure.

Felt nail/large-head clout nail Nail plugs and plugs for screws are crucial elements used in woodworking and construction projects. Nail plugs, made of materials like wood or similar substances, cover nail holes in wooden surfaces, giving them a polished and finished look. These plugs are inserted into the holes and then sanded or trimmed to be flush with the surface, resulting in a smooth finish. Plugs for screws, available in different materials such as wood or metal, are used to conceal the heads of screws. They hide the exposed screw heads and provide additional protection against moisture and debris. Both nail plugs and plugs for screws play a vital role in achieving a professional and aesthetically pleasing outcome in woodworking and construction. For use with cable clip pins or other small nails, masonry or otherwise (the plug comes with a ready hole for the nail, pin or possibly even a small diameter screw).

The imperial system of screw gauges ranked shank diameter as a number from 1 to 20 - the higher the gauge, the bigger the screw. The metric equivalents are not nearly so user-friendly, but this is how screws are now increasingly sold. Use this handy table as a guide: Gauge
