Handy tip for trad brass screw usage - screw in a matching size steel
screw first, then remove and replace with the brass. Makes the driving
of the brass much lighter, and hence far less likely to damage the

The other day I dropped a brass screw from an electical fitting (wire
clamping screw from a scoket). Fell near a screwdriver. And moved
towards it. Realised the magnetised screwdriver was attracting it. Must
be steel with a brass finish of some sort.

Kind of surprising I've never seen woodscrews which are similarly
constructed. Anyone seen such things?
