Bobs, those are great tips -- thanks!! Could I ask you to mention the brands of screws that have given you the best performance, if you feel comfortable doing so? No worries if you are not in a position to do that.
And you probably already know this, but the phrase "Bob's your uncle" probably refers to an episode of nepotism in Britain:
Arthur was the nephew of . . .
No problem mentioning brand names, however the very high percentage of the screws I use come with the product. I used to be able to identify them by markings on the screw, but they don't seem to have that any more.
A brand I used to use years ago was the Star brand. They were the best 20 years ago. But, like everything, they vanished and are no longer available.
It's a bit hit and miss now. I've had both good and bad screws from the same supplier.
Bob's your uncle, yes a lot of funny stuff associated with the name!
I first used that moniker when I was younger and I had a bunch of nieces and nephews. I was uncle Bob to them. It just stuck with me and I use it all the time.
EEK! Bad typo auto mistake correction!
