Dealing with slotted head screws well is the territory of the expert 
mechanic and gunsmith. I am not ashamed of my skill. I paid a very dear 
price for it.

     I have 3484095098096806978908 flathead drivers, which basically 
cost me nothing.
and Philips comes a dozen in a bag for a nickel ninety eight.
  I have at least 3-4 pounds of insert bits (and this is dozens and 
dozens in number)
except #2 Robertson is about all I ever get.

Every time I try to get Robertson bits, its like 8 or 10 dollars asking!
The screws cost 4 times as much and the drivers cost 10 times as much.

      Canadians are stingy with their treats!

          Now that's a rant   haahahahaha
    yours scott

Who will grind a flat head bit to exactly fit a slot as quick as breathin.
     And there is something about an honest slotted brass screw that 
just can't be faked.
