Me, today: I'll take a dog-point screw any day of the week!
I was assembling a rack of equipment, most of the screws available were twice the necessary length or stripped out.
Dog Point Screw (from Zero Products, Inc.: A straight pointed section reduced in diameter slightly below the root diameter of the thread. Usually extending In length about two-thirds the diameter of the thread. Recommended for ease In starting, to insure against stripping fine threaded products, and to increase efficiency along production lines.
