Where Can I Buy Square Drive Screws?

[johnmetts]

Greetings WC Canoe lovers! I'm about to start working on my great-grandfather's (JB O'Dette & Sons) canoe - probably built sometime in the 20' or 30's

. I found mostly square drive screws. Anyone out there know a good source for these?

Thanks everybody.

Welll.... I guess you have all surmised that I am not a computer tech as my post didn't come out too well. Here is what I wanted to say:

I get them from Jamestown Distributors. Buy them in bronze, not brass. The bronze screws are drastically stronger and will not shear the heads off when driven into hardwood the way far too many brass screws do.

Look up Robertson as a screw type, or come up to Canada. That's the most common type here. Most any hardware store here will have them.

Heed Todds advise. I order from Jamestown, as any brass you will find today at a retailer will be junk. About as hard as 3 yr old cheddar. Spend the extra $ and wait a little longer, when you catch them right Jamestown offers free shipping, and it doesnt take long to spend $100.

Even in Canada, people buy from Jamestown or https://www.mcfeelys.com/ Few common hardware stores carry silicon bronze fasteners.
