Mike, Et Al,
In the envelope with this tool were two screws. One protrudes 3/8" and
the other 1/4". The two are different and I believe that the "correct"
one is the shorter. The second screw just doesn't look the part, so to
speak. The shorter one that looks correct is a #4-40. The other one
doesn't seem to thread onto a #40-40 nut, so out it goes........
