People trying to identify an unlabeled replacement screw
Worth noticing
It distinguishes overall screw length from catalog conventions, especially for countersunk screws.

Field notes

The tool separates physical measurement from visual description, allowing users to enter dimensions and narrow results with head, recess, material, fastening-material, and thread details. Calibration uses a credit card or another known-length object, while a device preset is described only as a starting scale. Its guidance notes that catalog nominal lengths may exclude a projecting head, whereas countersunk lengths generally include it.
