How many screws.....

[ToughButterCup]

..... can you hold in your mouth while screwing your battens down? 

 

Please God nothing makes me look up and so swallow a few. ?

[PeterW]

You need a Kuni tool pouch or trousers with lots of pockets ...

[Gone West]

I filled up the pockets on my tool belt when I was battening.

[Construction Channel]

In answer to your question. The width of your mouth/the diameter of the screw, but really you want a nail bag as everyone else said. ?

[ToughButterCup]

Got a nail bag, but it is a lot faster if I put about five in my mouth and four in my hand, and one being driven. 

Ibuprofen dose by 10:30 I suppose... ?

[Dudda]

Haven't really held screws in my mouth since I cut my gum. I was lucky. It was more of a bad scrape but did find it awkward eating on one side for a few days. 

[ProDave]

I tried that with plasterboard screws. They have some coating which tastes horrible.....

Fear of that made me put the heads of the screws in my mouth. I recon I can tell the screw head type with my tongue 

?

Can you tie a cherry stalk into a knot with your tongue? 

[ToughButterCup]

Nope.

The stalks aren't long enough. The other factors is that I have a devoted partner who de-stalks cherries for me before serving them on a silver platter.

 

In relation to the image: I have a nice little 12 volt Bosch impact drill that fits neatly into one of the pouches.

I can get six slate nails (stainless).....

Don't be so modest.

Soz, just deleted the image before reading your comment. It was there because I was going to suggest you get a tool belt before you said you had a nail bag. Deleted it in-text, but forgot to delete it as an attachment.

The answer is 0, Zero, Many modern screws have flashing and burs on them and you will end up with splinters in your mouth. I never walk with anything in my mouth after witnessing one of my school chums having a fountain pen removed from his cheek after he fell over in the playground while carrying his pen in his mouth. He was very lucky. 

[Ferdinand]

I’m with @MikeSharp01 on this.

 

For me screws in the mouth are an “ew” concept. I imagine falling over then having to have screws put back in to hold my teeth or jawbone together.

 

If I still have my teeth I do not care how much longer it takes.

Are they carbon steel fasteners?

 

Try some  magnetic contraption on some part of your driver.

If they are, the ones in his mouth look like they smoke 40 a day

not bragging or anything but my venerable Ryobi cordless has a little magnetic area on top of the base of the hand grip where the battery is inserted. Perfect for holding bits and a couple of screws.
