I went by the hardware store tonight when the orange box did not have
what I wanted. They had homeowner quanties of one to a box of 100. I
walked out with 3 boxes of different sizes. If I finsih any project
all the screws wil be gone and a need for a few more boxes. If you
live in a town with a good hadware store they may have what you need
or can make do with.
Sure, but try finding *any* square-drive screws at your local hardware
store,
let alone a box of a hundred. That's what McFeely's specializes in.
No problem, they're right there on the shelf...what you need?

Let me guess... you're in Canada.

Not that I'm aware of...

Where is it, then, that you have an easy time finding square-drive screws at
the local hardware store?

I don't have any love/fascination with robertson screws. I use them if
I can get them but I do not seek them out. So ignore any comments I
have about McFeely's if one feels that McFeely's is a synonym for
robertson screws. I can use hex drive screws for some things, regular
old phillips head screws for others, the universal phillips/square
drive for other tasks. If I come across robertson screws at the store
and it lets me do a project then great.
