[pianotech] screwed but good

[Jon Page]

For screws which do not turn with hand force use a ratchet with a 
slot bit or cross bit (Posidrive too).

In the tool case which usually stays in the car, I keep two sizes of 
cross and slot bits and a small rack
of sockets for various fasteners. Get Snap-On bits, guaranteed for 
life and do not fail as often as the
major department store brand.

Combined with an extension, plate screws are easy to tweak when needed;
stubborn cheek block or lyre screws are no match for the torque produced.
