[VAC] Re: Frustrating day



Hi Phil,

I went into Sears' tool department whining about the same problem, and
there was a tool god there who recommended a ratchet screw dirver that
has an angled handle on it, black, comes with a bunch of bits, including
sockets.  It lets you bear down on the screw better than a regular screw
driver. And of course, exactly the right screw tip size is important
too.  Another trick, especially for phillips head, is take a disposeable
ie cheap phillips and pound it in to deepen the slots.

Also be sure that you have cleaned out the screw head well, with an
exacto for example.

Good Luck,
Daisy
