Bill, W6WRT Yes, sometimes, or even a fine toothed blade in a hacksaw, but not when you are standing on top of a ladder and struggling to reach the crappy hardware. The moron who built my four car garage used 4" or longer Robertson screws everywhere, and most of the heads were puled below the surface before the #2 bit slipped and chewed up the head. I broke two crowbars removing a dangerous hanging rack he's built to hold plywood above one of the bays. Both were flimsy, and they hung low enough that you could bump your head on exposed screw points sticking an inch though the bottom 2*4 beams. I had to remove and replace a lot of lumber that split because of the way he screwed things up. -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it. Member of DAV #85.
