The term 'twisted fastener' can refer to either a SCREW or a TIE. A SCREW is a type of fastener with a helical ridge, or thread, that is used to join two objects together. It is twisted into place and held in place by friction. A TIE is a type of fastener made from a flexible material such as string, rope, or fabric. It is used to bind two objects together by wrapping it around them and tying it in a knot. Both screws and ties are commonly used in construction and other industries.
