Because the Thumb Screw is turned by hand again and again, its knurled head can wear smooth, the thread can strip, or it can be dropped and lost. When that happens the panel or component it holds can no longer be secured by hand. Signs it needs replacing are a head too worn or slick to grip and turn, stripped or cross-threaded threads, a screw that will not stay tight, or one that is simply missing. Keeping a spare means a lost thumb screw never sidelines the machine. It threads in by hand into the existing boss.
