If you're talking about those hex-head screws, my answer is simple: Snap-On

the screw head quite nicely, and that's one of the recessed ones.
They use a better grade of steel, and tend to be thinner for any given size.
One of the reasons I like 'em, the no-hassle warranty being another one...

It was thus said that the Great David Griffith
once stated:
I've been meaning to get a nutdriver that will get at the screws holding a
Model M together so I can shoehorn a ps/2-usb converter inside. So far
everything I've tried (and I haven't looked very hard) will fit the nut,
but is too thick to get inside the hole. On Tue, 30 Oct 2007, Curt @ Atari Museum wrote:
Same here. In fact, I use them on newer Macs as well (using a PS/2->USB
converter). Some things you just don't skimp on, no
matter what, a keyboard

This is why I have a small hoard of IBM Model M keyboards. All my
pee-cee class machines use them.
