MelcoMart does sell replacement hoop screws for about $3 each. I have never used a screwdriver to tighten hoops, always tighten/untighten by hand to avoid hoop burn on the garment.

The slots for the screwdrivers constantly wear away and then I have to purchase an entire inside ring as they cannot replace the screws. Are there any other better made hoops out there that any of you have had good expericences with other than the ones that Melco sells?? Thanks1 Looking for last minute shopping deals?
