Whenever I use brass screws, I like to thread a steel screw in first to cut the threads. Problem is, half the time I can't find the size I need. What I want is a a set of threaded screw pilots. Maybe with tee handles? Long enough so you could just screw it in as far as the screw length you were using, back it out and put your brass screw in. A six size set would be nice, 2,3,4,5,6,8,10? Anybody ever seen anything like this?
