I need help. I tried with a screwdriver, with a socket as suggested, and it's not working. They are flat ended like bolts, and I can't even seem to start the things.
The mfgr claims the screws are case hardened. They also have a concave head which will give a better grip than the head of a sheet metal screw.Peakbagr said:I haven't lost any of the screws yet. I know that the company sells really expensive replacements. Is there any reason why simple, $0.03 cent sheet metal screws wouldn't work as replacements?
I tried it. No problems for a short <2mi bit. I still don't know if I will be able to get the screws out when the heads become worn.Also, it was my plan to put a dab of Shoe Goo in the Stablicer missing screw hole and then insert the replacement. It might keep the screws from falling out so easily and not be permanent.

What did they charge to ship the replacement screws to you?
Thanks
5 bucks for 50 screws, 2 bucks for shipping (or maybe it was 4 and 3, I forget), so the total was $7.00 for 50. BTW, 32 North is in Biddeford, ME, about 15 or 20 miles from me, so I got them the day after they shipped them out.Peakbagr said:Didn't know that.
