Hi Ron, by using needle nose pliers to tighten the thumb screw, it won't be
long before the little groves are worn away and the needle nose pliers won't
grip the screw any longer. It is well worth the time to replace the screw
with the other kind--was a time saver for me(and saves on my temperament as
well)!!!
