Set screws

Any idea where they come from? Found one on the floor A week ago, then yesterday 1 on the countertop. About 1/4" in diameter and about the same length.Have not found anything missing yet.

If you decide not to use them, please send one to us to replace our missing stripper pole set screw. Ours probably went down the sink.

Enjoy,

Perry

Jim, you are right. There are 2 missing screws there. Luckily enough we save both and I will not be sending Perry one. Thanks for the help

Hi: Perryb67... I lost one from the lower stop on the awning arm. I took out the other one and went off to my hardware supplier who measured the thread count and the dia., and got me 1/2 dz. I haven't needed another one since!!! Alf

Escapes are screwy? Who knew?


For any screw that is not sufficiently "set in its ways," some Loctite might persuade it to stay put. One more thing to add to the toolbox...
