single slit (not pozidrive) - don't know how else to describe them. Can anyone tell me of a source? Thanks in advance Jonathan |

Screwfix, Toolstation, B&Q, Homebase, Wickes, Focus etc. Quite why anyone would want to use them is beyond me though. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |

I think they have quietly disappeared while no one was looking. Scewsline looks like the answer. |
