One problem...they do not offer plain Steel screws, only Zinc Plated! = Yikes! It's been my experience that Zinc Plated tend to strip out, as the plating = "dulls" the threads. If anyone has a contact for Schadler, I'd definately be interested. I spoke to him at the last national, but he was a bit = evasive and non-commital, when I told him of my wanting to continue to get Quality = screws from him. As he's a bit odd, he only was interested in promoting the = piano covers thing. go figger!
