Pretty good but when hands are wet, the round shape is a little hard to get a solid purchase.

These thumb screws work so much nicer then wing nuts. Not only for quick and easy removal of backplate and wing. But no sharp edges to cut into my expensive dry suits or back when in a rash guard.

Threads are clean and tight...we'll see how they hold up over time. They are a bit thicker than a wing nut, but I can't feel them.

Tek Tip Warning Image WARNING

In the European Union and most other parts of the world the common metric bolt sizes are M8 x 1.5 or M8 x 1.25 and with force the imperial 5/16-18 threaded thumbwheels will screw down the metric bolts, but the threads will eventually strip creating an unsafe condition.
