Heard of it but never tried them, not necessary on a Sonor with tunesave. I play only Sonor :lol:

Looks like current tune safe, but done in reverse, so that the friction material is replaceable without replacing the enrire lug.

The note below is included in the FAQ section:

"NOTE: TightScrews do not fit Sonor products fitted with slotted head tension rods but will fit Sonor products fitted with standard 12-24 thread tension rods."

I thought this review was interesting. Never considered that allowing the head to detune unevenly created premature wear...


    "These things are amazing. I recently fitted my entire kit with the TightScrews and I'm in awe. Prior to putting them on I would change my heads a few times a week while on tour. I can honestly say TightScrews have TRIPLED my drum head life. I can tune my drums up, play a full force set and they are exactly as they were before we started. When I pull them out of the cases in the next city/show... they are exactly as I left them. If you're a hard hitting player (or even if you're not) you need these things"
