Do pins meet or exceed the holding strength of screws?
On a one-to-one basis, screws usually offer greater holding strength than pins when withdrawal strength is measured. This may not be true when pull over strength is compared, due to similar head diameters of the two fasteners. However, for most applications, the installation of a few more pins than screws, allows the assembly made with pins to carry the same loads as an assembly built with screws. Installing more pins than screws can be easily justified due to significantly reduced labor to install pins.
