I thought that I had inadvertently found myself on one of those risqué web sites, not that I would now how to find one. Longer screws, good screws, extension studs, tools, right position.

Ohh matron.
 
Pet hate of mine is cutting 3.5 screws. Fine if it's done correctly and well, which I find about 99% of the time it isn't. The badly cut screw then ruins the backbox thread, which makes changing faceplates a job well up on the hate list.

FWIW I carry 25mm, 35mm, 40mm, 50mm, 75mm M3.5 Screws. And just to be sure, extension studs as well.
Were you in the Scouts?
 
Good afternoon all,

I have begun changing the socket plate in the kitchen and am finding it extremely difficult to blindly mate to machine screw into the thread.

Please can someone offer advice or tips?

Thanks!

Andy

sometimes slightly longer pins will make it easier to see to line up with the lugs.
