Very informative. Would have been worlds better with pictures.
I have antenna TV, not cable, and enough dial-up and cellular Internet
access for my own mainly text reading needs but not much to spare. I
won't be offended if you find and post a reference you like better.
Text OK, but the video wasn't just bad, it was misleading. The vid
showed more screw heads than points. Ridiculously lousy vid. Boo on
the hardware-ignorant secretary who made it up for them.

Much better. A line of text description and small pic that even Dialup
Jim(tm) could download! One for each type. This is the one I used
to find the best deck screws (type 17) years ago.

Not sure I'd agree about drive pins, called U drive, being permanent,
they're easily removed with the right tool like a small cold chisel with
a gap to go around the shank. They're often used for engine number
plates on some older British engines and get removed when the block is
decked.
