They'd have been confiscated by the CNSC ("Canadian Nuclear Safety
Commission" to us USAtians) Gerry, because you'd have given them a
very long half-life. That has to be dangerous, right? <g>

A firearm would look odd with your choices of screws.

Yeah, the heads would likely have to be slightly larger. But they
wouldn't take a $145 set of blade screwdrivers to work 'em, either.

I haven't used a 10" blade in years. 12" seems like a normal stroke for my
arm. I'm 6 foot+.
I'll have to wait until next payday to order one though. Got a little crazy
last night ordering things. Those Mitutoyo IP65 mics are great.
