Useful little screw for hanging things

I wouldn't normally ask for something like this, but I had a clock in my kitchen and figured this type of screw would win. The clock has a slightly recessed hanging point and using a standard drywall screw it was not easy to find the right length to hang the clock firmly on the wall. Every time I pulled it down to replace the battery, the screw turned just enough to either (1) dangle the clock and bang against the wall when the next garage door opened/closed; or (2) I would scratch the wall and try to center the clock's suspension point on the head of the screw. This screw is a perfect replacement for the guesswork involved in hanging this clock twice a year after changing the battery to adjust for Daylight Saving Time. The low cost is worth the brief consolation they offer.
