Or custom grind your screwdrivers.? Or change the gear ratio? on your electric sander.>> Actually I do regrind my screwdrivers to square up the tips and make the faces parallel so that they will perfectly fit the slots of the screws. I have occasionally roughed up the face of a hammer to prevent it from glancing off a nail. This is an old boatyard carpenter's trick my wife's father taught me. I have even recovered my user Leicas with 3M rubberized anti-slip material, a far better surfacing material than Leica's original Vulcanite. But I've never changed the gear ratio of my electric sander - but thanks for the idea. Larry Z
