"I really wish Amazon's new Part Finder worked better, because it's a great idea in theory -- just take a picture of that oddball screw, with the Amazon Shopping app (on iOS) and it'll theoretically show you a matching fastener you can order on the spot.
But when I tried it today:
I had to go get a white piece of paper and a penny (who still carries coins in 2018?) to start the measuring process.
The iPhone camera had a tough time focusing on the screw -- I had to take a bunch of pictures before one was crisp.
So yeah, it clearly needs a lot of work before it's better than a trip to the hardware store.
But I'll totally use it once it's a little more fleshed out..."
