I would be interested in changing out all the Phillips head screws in my plane, that require frequent removal, both flat and round head, #6 and #8.
Also, if these are not actually "Torx", will you be offering a driver to fit the screw heads??

Functional equivilants to them, and I will be having the bits available also.
Torx is a registered trademark, I can not market these as being made by them. I have a manufacturer in the US that will be supplying these fasteners once we hit our target qty, or more!

If I get enough of the pan head 8-32, I may offer others styles and sizes.
I still need a bit more interest to launch this line of products successfully.

aka... hexalobular internal driving feature ...
I'd use them in place of any Philips screw I could....since I'm just starting, that might be easier.

I'd be in for #8 pan-head screws. Flat heads too, if you decide to carry 'em.

Any news on this subject?
Is Microfasteners still the best source?
Have the smaller (8 and 6) screws gotten any better or do they still strip out easily?
I sure like my 10-32 and have never replaced a one in over 5 years.

Jay,
Please elaborate. Just curious as to the reasons.
