      I'm Glad Matco is going in a better direction.  I actually ordered extra ca
      p head screws knowing the problems I had in the past.  However, This looks 
      like a lot better nut and driver.
      
      I'll be order in them first thing next week.  
      Thanks for the info Bill.

      I HATED the old cap head screws with the 1/8" hex drive.  I stripped them
      
      torquing them, I stripped them trying to get them out, and basically I just
       felt 
      every time I used them I anticipated problems.
      
      Speaking with George a couple weeks back he said they were getting Torx Plu
      s 
      screws to replace them.  I ordered them in anticipation of the next time I
      
      needed to do any work on the wheels.
      
      What a change.  See them here:

      I also ordered two of the drivers, here:
      
      http://www.matcomfg.com/DRIVET25IPTORXPLUSINSERT-idv-3820-35.html
      
      I threw an extra set of screws and the drive in my travel toolkit.
      
      These engage VERY securely, and I torqued each one to 80 inch/lbs no proble
      m.
      
      Yay!  If you haven't upgraded yet, order them now so they're on hand and yo
      u 
      don't have to mess with the hex drive screws ever again.  That stuff was 
      starting to give me gray hair.  ;)
