Benchmade screws are fine.  I bought some bulk philips heads from Amazon.  I have a sacrificial piece of steel roughly the same as the handle thickness on most tools and grind them to length.  Generally I center punch and spot with a center drill before drilling.  I have done a dozen or so on various tools now.  Those clips are quite nice.

Once I swapped to one of the drill bits I already had at home, it drilled easily ::) The one that came with the tap barely scratched the surface though :facepalm: Tapping was going fine until the tap decided to break :ahhh I will get a better brand and I am sure it will do better :salute:

I have done this type of stuff at work before while fixing things but never this small :cheers: My dad has a tap set and I should have just went and saw if he had one that small because he will never drill and tap anything this small :D

I was only looking for T6 heads but Phillios screws will be fine. Thanks for that :salute: :like: also cutting to length via another piece of steel is a great idea sndnI had not thought about that either :salute: :like:
