Hi All,
On a Carpentry forum and talking about the youth of today and their inability to do anything if you can't push a button....
Well I used to put these in by hand (with a Yankee driver, no not a hammer!) Anyone else??
Mostly 1 3/4"screws

I try to avoid those if I can, Torx or Robertson for me. Sadly I’ve still got too many of the other stuff left to ignore completely.
