Replacing a socket however weird loose screw issue!

I've often found dry lining boxes have tight "lugs" ( thats what we in the trade call the screwy in bits ), I always use a 3.5mm socket screw tap before hand just to make sure the thread is decent and clear.
Decent tip for anyone doing electrical socket work is to use a re-threader before installing new screws into the socket boxes. ... Oh and please make doubly sure you have turned the electric off !!!
