I am researching like crazy here. Some of the suggestions lead to absolutely nuts shipping charges reminiscent of come-on flaky eBay deals.
I needed metric flat-head allen 4 mm screws for the bottom of Megawatts, and Meanwell power supplies.
The screws holding even hospital-grade receptacles, plugs and sockets are garbage (on a fifteen dollar device !?!). So I need to secure Torx head screws.
I have already purchased a lot of #6 x 32 x 1-1/4" phillips flat head screws to replace the OEM flat blade screws that come even on hospital and federal spec grade plugs and sockets. Use a flat blade screw on a plastic receptacle and you are begging for a hard time. I chose self tapping screws and they are a snap to use.
I must admit that I have difficulty with one hand and the screws above coupled with a magnetic driver are a near miracle with a strong cordless screwdriver.
Now back to shopping. Thanks everyone!
