    Dear Fritschi

    Please, please stop using Torx screws in your bindings. Never, ever use one Torx screw much less 2 different sizes to attach items that may require customer replacement. Perhaps in a land where precision chronometer construction is a common occupation you can just jaunt on over to Jurgens and borrow his toolset. Here in America and Phillips head rule the day. So please, please use Phillips. Hey, I'll settle for Posidrive.
    Signed,
    A customer who was glad he was near a Radioshack that was open and had the $14.99 bit set in stock.

    although I agree its a pain, the Phillips Head is such a dated design....its really our fault for not adapting.

    More and more things are requiring Torx these days. Just buy a good tool set and you'll be fine.

    Torx ain't that bad. Phillips sucks ass. Not knowing the size of these particular ones, why not replace them with Allen heads.

    Phillips are great until you slip one and have to drill it out.

    Torx = no stripping.

    Well, we've got 4 people who apparently carry 2 sizes of Torx bits in their BC repair kit. No f'ing thanks. They're going to be Phillips soon on mine. Aside from saving .1g and maybe €.05 there was no fucking reason they couldn't use the same size screw to hold the heel piece to the length adjustment screw and a same size shorter screw to hold on the rail cap. Oh well, people like their equipment complicated.
