I guess we Left Coasters just think a little bit differently than you
Texicans, Leon.

So, do you need to buy better bits which don't stick as badly, or do
you need to buy cheaper bits which don't stick as badly? Pick one.



Yes! That is a definite maybe. HUH? ;~)


I've found that some things are made so perfectly that they mate too
well, so going to a different manufacturer or different grade makes
just enough difference to keep it from happening.


Many years ago I used to show friends how well the SD screws stuck to
the driver bit totally unlike a Philips head screw. Almost every time I
am on my hands and knees inside a kitchen cabinet repairing or
installing brackets for drawer slides the screw sticks in the driver,
and I think to myself, what a wonderful world.. ER uh I wish these
screws did not to this. LOL


If you're -that- upset, go back to using a magnetized bit and phillips
screws, Leon.

P.S: Why don't you install dem glides while de top is still off the
unit, so you have some room, boy?
