Fastener of the decade

This decade retrospective post is in conformance with Section 123(a)(1)(j)(ii)(c) of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

During this decade, I had the opportunity to use many great fasteners, but in my opinion the best of these was the 10-24 rack mount screw—Allen head, of course, superior to the #2 Phillips (too finicky), and the Robertson (too Canadian). Other excellent choices include the zip tie, 5 minute epoxy, and duct tape.
