What are non-magnetic screws made of?
Some of the screws I use are not attracted to magnets. What are they
made of? The last bunch were heavy duty sheet metal screws, that came with a license plate frame, and I kept dropping them behind the grill, and the way the plastic bumper is made, they don't fall out. And my magnet on a stick didn't work! |
