This is the most helpfully packaged box of screws I've ever seen, by a large margin. I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate whomever was responsible for such a triumph of utility and empathy.

@dxzdb @mattgemmell On this package it is clearly the genuine CE mark and not the gin you wine version from the Peoples Republic.

@dxzdb @mattgemmell That "China Export" thing is a myth. See for example Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CE_marking#%22China_Export%22 or just google for "china export" "myth". Like https://www.glazingvision.co.uk/blog/top-questions-on-ce-marking/ .
