Being careful and using common sense has saved me a fortune on little 1/2 inch screws.

Reckless dumbasses may find your information compelling and useful, though, so thanks for sharing!

Because he can see the government's footprints in the snow if they visit his house, and salt is an affront to God.

On the edge! and 1/2 inch! A little wood screw can give you incredable traction and help you avoid falls and injuries. Golf shoes or special slip on traction devices will work but few have them.

I used to be in a field where I had to work in all kinds of weather and came upon this for ice. It works well outside but causes scratches inside. I used the hex head ones with a magnetic head.

Why magnetic heads? Does that help you walk up the side of buildings with steel siding???

I think Rod needs a few 1/2" screws to the head

I fucked up my carpet and wood floor, but I didn't slip.

Join the rest of the real world, Rod. Who the fuck does something like this besides you?

I avoid the slippage issue by just walking around with a blow torch...

How much does that cost you? I hire an illegal immigrant to walk in front of me with a snow shovel.
