Brass screws are being sent to Houston to help out.


I can see why. Some folks can't even find their switches, sockets or
receptacles. They have cornered the market for loose screws.

If it's otherwise the correct screw, sure. Where did the original go?
They usually are made in such a way that while you can loosen them
up until they are way out, you can't remove them, they only go so far,
unless you force them.
