Received a 20 lb supply of fasteners today from www.mcfeelys.com
in various sizes from #8 to #14 and lengths from
1 ½ inches to 4 inches.
These are square drive screws which I feel are superior to Phillips or
flatheads (anything is better than flatheads). A powered screw driver with a
square drive bit will keep the screw on the bit to almost a horizontal
attitude. A Phillips will usually fall off. These are made of 316 stainless
and have a special cut for the shank and flukes with an auger tip. The
advantage over regular tapping screws is that you dont have to drill a
pilot hole and risk splitting the material. (except for hardwoods). An
advantage when using it with Coosa Board and PVC foam is the larger flukes
is that it gives a better bite into the material. More surface area, less
chance of fastener failure in the material (less chance of popping out under
stress).
If we have our way, all tapping screws on the boat will be square drives.
This is one of my lovely new panniers. I have no idea how the bit at the bottom helps attach it to the rack.

Fastener
sta·ple1 /ˈstāp(ə)l/ noun
a piece of thin wire with a long center portion and two short end pieces that are driven by a stapler through sheets of paper to fasten them together.
I did not realize that staples could become magnitized.
I had a heck of a time getting them to stay where I wanted and then discovered that dust and lint loved them.
