Another panheaded self tapper but this time it’s got no slot


Patient 0019

March 27, 2007

0019-1-14-8.JPG

A slightly oxidised screw with just a hint of a slot from where the tool must have just glanced the head


Patient 0018

0018-12-4.JPG

A (strangely off centred photo of a) half inch roundhead with no thread


Patient 0017

March 23, 2007

0017-34-8.jpg

Another small one with a double defect; the end doesn’t taper off to a point and the slot is ff-centre


Patient 0016

0016-34-8.JPG

A small black panhead with no slot


Patient 0015

March 19, 2007

0015-2-14-8.JPG

An interesting screw in its own right (with it’s intentionally thin shaft and ever-hanging thread) but our concern is, once again, the lack of a slot on its head


Patient 0014

0014-14-5.JPG

A tiny brass panheaded screw with a blank shaft and without any slot. In fact, it may even be some kind of rivet I suppose but it did come out of a 1/2″ x 5 brass screw box


Patient 0013

0013-34-5.JPG

A nice small brass screw (3/4 x 5) with a missing slot. In case you haven’t noticed, you can sort the screws via the category list on the right hand side

I know what you’re thinking. It may look like Patient 0002 but it’s not; it’s his identical twin! I’m just cataloguing them randomly as I pick them out of the box so it’s likely that this kind of thing will happen again and again

A real gem of a defect and truly unique too. It’s the screw version of The Thing!


Patient 0010

March 12, 2007

58-10.JPG

A nice little doubly defective pan-headed self tapper. This time it comes with a kinked shaft as well as a blunt point.


Patient 0009

34-6.JPG

Another screw with its thread partially ground down


Patient 0008

March 11, 2007

1-14-10.JPG

A pretty standard looking screw but with the added bonus of a large protrusion at the screw’s point.


Patient 0007

March 9, 2007

1-12-10.JPG

A simple, yet unique deformity. I guess that something didn’t quite engage the screw head as it should have.


Patient 0006

2-34-8.jpg

A screw with a treble defect. There’s a slightly chomped off point as well as an off-centred slot with some circular dents on the head.
