A PZ2 does not fit a slotted screw.




Just tell him to knock the screw in with a hammer.


I worked in a saw mill at one time. They made pallets for plate glass.
That's exactly what they did. Balanced the screw on the point and one

the nails were barbed down their length meaning that it was almost
impossible to remove them from the wood.
