When installing individual circuit breakers, try using 8-32 3/8" cap
screws. When it comes time to change the breaker a cap screw can be
easily accessed by an allen wrench whereas the phillips head screws require
pressure to remove. Likewise when reinserting the CBs a cap screw can be
held in place at the end by an allen wrench with a trace of fuel lube.

I like that tip! Too many times I've been under the panel with a
phillips or worse yet, slotted screw to go on a breaker or switch.
If they make short 8/32 brass cap screws that may be perfect.
You've given me something to search for. ;)
Thanks!

I wonder if they'll work to mount a fuse block. Of course, I've never
had to change a fuse block, but still...

Great idea!
These would work:

I like the second one better, it has more contact surface with the terminal.
