What brand of sink came with these screws? If the slot is too narrow for
your screwdrivers, you may want to shop for a new screwdriver with a very
thin blade, I have seen them come in all different thicknesses, some are too
thick for some screws, as there doesn't seem to be a standard for slot
screws and drivers. Alternatively, you could file or grind a screwdriver to
the correct thickness for the job. Finding a replacement for the screws
could be difficult because they may be an especially manufactured version
for this specific purpose.

i dont recall the brand of sink it is (reusing the old sink on new
countertop ) and i do have the proper screwdriver. the problem is that
it is very tight between the sink sidewall and cabinet wall. the type of
screw/clamp i'm fighting with can be seen

down a bit. it would be much easier if the screw had a larger head .

greetings, after successfully installing my new kitchen countertops and
cutting out for the sink (stainless ) i am now at my wits end trying to
pull the sink down flush with the countertops. the clamps i have that fit
into the slots underneath came with slotted screws with the smallest slot
you can imagine. there is just no way i can get the screwdriver into the
slot to tighten it down. is anyone aware of a screw to fit these slots
that is at least a phillips head or better yet a head that will accept a
small socket. any help would be appreciated.
