Default Re: Garnish screws - what size?

I use a pair of channel lock type of pliers to flatten the backside of the enlarged hole.
Then use standard equipment. works for me,

Channel lock pliers are one of the most useful tools in any toolbox. A mechanic friend of mine refers to them as "nut fu#*ers".

I got my stainless oval headed PK screws polished at the local electroplaters before I installed them so they look chromed.
