A little hardware gloat

A pal that works at the local hardware store let me know that he intercepted
some dumpster-bound nuts/bolts/etc for me. The "junk" consisted of about
50# of wood and machine screws in labeled boxes, most in <= 100 counts. 50%
stainless, 25% brass, 25% galvie. The downside? 90% are slotted head -
almost a deal breaker for this Normite LOL.

I've always wondered if such an animal exists. Does the sleeve retract as
the becomes flush?

there are some +pretty good+ drivers for slotted head fasteners, which
involve a centering sleeve. I have prolly 4 or 5 sizes of them, and I
can say that they do work.
I know what you mean though...
