Is it worth buying expensive screws?
 
Something tells me these might be a bit too expensive for general use:

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Stephen Gower
saying something like:

You'd think they'd mount it in a block of polished teak with embossed
brass and a velvet lining.

You have to marvel at the crap some people come up with though... For
starters they look no better than a bog standard pasivated posi screw.
Secondly gold or white gold would seem to have exactly all the wrong
attributes desirable for a screw anyway! Soft, ductile, marks easily,
would probably twist off in the wood!


and that diamond in the middle won't help locate the screwdriver.
