    Never pass up a free screw on the street.

    Like it says.








































    Today's offering was a nice bright plated M8 machine screw, almost new, one careful owner, never raced nor rallied.

    Yesterday we had two stainless steel nuts, with antishake washers in M10, along with a socket cap screw in M8.

    Do you think that somewhere there are 2 x stainless M10 screws feeling a bit lonesome?

      I always pick up any little screw, nuts and bolts etc I see in the street. Poor little things need a good home. Still not sure who left a lot of brand new galvanised nails on my wall last week.

        I've got a large box full of odd screws, nuts and bolts. One day I'll sort them all out.

          That's just weird. They belong in a jam jar not a box.

                  No they don't! you unfeeling person - they belong in proper storage trays, each sorted exactly according to function, size etc. And they should all be given names so they feel wanted.

                    I too collect "free screws" never used one yet though... Do you think its a mental illness that us IT folk are more prone to?
