Need fastener for toilet paper holder
So we lost the screw to our toilet paper holder but I went to HD and found that a #12-24 screw fits perfectly. But they only had 'traditional' screws (i.e. with a big head). I need something with no head.
Not having much luck online, so any help would be appreciated!

Just make it. Cut the head off and put a slot in the end. Been there done that more than once.
A hacksaw or Dremel Tool will get the job done. You will need a vice to hold the screw but if you don't have one everyone needs one so now is the excuse to buy one.
Or use a set screw. Any real hardware store will have drawers of them. (HD is not really a hardware store.)

When I had the house painted several years ago the painters put paint on these threads. So now the wing nuts won't go on smooth, some of them I need a plier to thread the wing nut on. I know I can probably clean the threads up with a metal wire brush...but I have like 20 windows so over 200 of these threads at the bottom, and another 200+ on top.
I am looking for some quicker more efficient way to do this.
I am thinking, if I can put together something with a matching female thread, that I can fit into my cordless drill or impact driver, I can just drive that onto the male threads and strip the paint off, then back out and move to the next, and should only take a few seconds to clean each thread. Thoughts?
A bit holder, with a hex bolt into the bit holder, then the hex bolt into a long coupling nut? Glue together?
