Stainless steel screws
I'd like to get a bunch of square drive stainless steel screws to have on hand for my Lance 992 camper. I would like enough variety to be able to replace any screw that I find needs to be replaced. ...

The biggest problem I have with screws other than Philips & Standard....is finding a convenient screwdriver to make them work!
That said... Last year I built a huge deck on my house. Not a single nail in it. I used stainless steel Torx head screws for everything.
A number of years ago I did a similar project where I used Philips head screws. Using the same Dewalt power drill to install them, I ended up with tendonitis in my right hand. Philips screws are designed to slip, so to counter it is necessary to put force on them - all while pulling the trigger on a drill - and that hurt my wrist.. The Torx head screws on the deck, no such problem, for what was a lot more 'screwing around' than the other project.
