Opinion of Screws

Just wondering what you think about "Fast removal screws" for the hard top?
This is the description given......

"Remove your Hard Top quickly without tools and improve appearance at the same time. This product substitutes thumb screws for the standard machine screws used to secure the Hard Top. No Modifications Required. These work with your existing Hard Top Nuts."

Found them online while surfing Jeep stuff. Do you think they would actually make it any faster to remove the screws from the hardtop? During the fall and early spring I plan to use the hard top but for those occasional nice days when I want to take it off I am just trying to find time savers.

Any thoughts???

Well, it took me all of 5 - 10 minutes (several interuptions) to remove all 8 screws for the hard top yesterday. Personally don't see a need for improvement on that. Just my $.02

I bought a knurled knob that holds a torx bit. It's quick and basically does the same thing. I just keep it in my trunk. I looked for replacement screws but the only ones I found were like $40 a set.
