Screw weight & quantity estimator

Two jobs in one: work out what a batch of screws will weigh before you order, or drop a pile on a kitchen scale and find out roughly how many you have without counting them.

Result

566 mg per screw

100 of them weigh about 56.6 g — useful for shipping bands and for spotting a listing that is selling far fewer screws than the photo suggests.

Count by weighing

Weigh ten screws first and divide if you want a tighter number — head shape and plating change the figure by a few percent.
