Toothpicks and square drives
Many know this, some do not.
When we take something apart, like a plate on the wall in the RV's, the screw hole is never the same, here is a tip for you.

A very useful tip... my late father-in-law Jim Dunscomb taught me this one.

So....you don't have to add wood glue, just go ahead and tighten things up? Fantastic! : )

I am always in a hurry, wood glue is better if you have time. (And plan ahead) It is amazing how well it does work without the glue.
I like to try and help people who may not work with tools and fix-it stuff, but I know many folks are skilled at repairing things, so I just keep it simple with my tips.

I'll stuff as many as will fit in a hole and use a hammer to tap them in tight. I also carry some 1/16 or so wooden dowels that will work.

Super glue works great also. Gorilla glue works great also.
