Question about screws

[nagjames]

I'm looking for #2,3 screws with philips head. is there such thing?

I'm designing/manufacturing R/C car replacement part from aluminum as a hobby. I come up with a new chassis which includes a few parts that I need to screw together. The original R/C car comes with a philips screwdriver and all screws are philips head.
The problem is that I have 2 huge catalogues Travers tool , KBS tools and all they supply is cap screws. No philips . The worst case I could use Flat head socket cap screws it would look cool but then I'd need to provide an allen key with each set.

Thanks,
James

Not only are Allen caps screws nice looking the are far better than Phillips screws by a mile.

As to supplying the Allen wrench, why bother? Instead unbundle and sell the wrenches separately. Better yet sell whole kits and make a profit. The question in my mind is would you be supplying Phillips screw drivers with the Phillips screws? If not why the Allen wrenches? Don't forget two that Japanese "Phillips" screws take a different driver than the American counter part.

In any event try McMaster - Carr or McFeelyes fr screws.
