Hex Socket Replacement Screws: Lie Nielsen Version

. . . when it isn’t. And by this I mean the tool one uses to fasten the screw to whatever application desired whether it is two pieces of wood, or machined parts to one another. Simply put these hex-head fastens are superior to slotted or Phillips-head screws. It doesn’t mean hex-heads are more secure. It means loosening and tightening is more secure an operation. And like every other tool I’ve purchased from Mr. Cosman, they are well designed, are truly “bolt on” and a superior value. And I end like I have every other review; the purchasing and shipping are exemplary. I recommend these hex-head replacement screws as a simple but significant upgrade.

These are a simple upgrade for your planes that make a significant difference.

Plane irons require regular resharpening, often several times a day.

The ability to quickly break down your plane and adjust it to get back to work saves time and makes the process easier and more enjoyable.

Great upgrade to my Lie Nielsen 5 1/2 plane.

Rob gives such great, and always helpful, teaching with many needful tidbits. And as a plus, if you order from this online website, you receive excellent products. What many may not know is what happened to me today. I made an order this morning. I purchased the set of screws for two hand planes. I have run into the problem with these expensive planes, sorry screws that if not very careful get messed up because of their construction. But Rob and his professional team have come up with an exceptional fix - Hex socket! Brilliant! Within about 15 minutes I received an email that my purchase was on the way. And shortly after I got a phone call. When I answered the caller said -- This is Rob Cosman?!? He wanted to thank me for my purchase, one that was less than $100, which tells me that it's not about the money, but excellent service that they always provide. Listen to Rob and you get excellent teaching. Buy from Rob, you get exceptional products with the best service. Thank you, Rob!

While replacing the right side frog adjustment screw, the new hex-socket screw totally messed up the threads and wouldn’t go in. When I tried to just put the LN original screw in, it tracked the damaged threads and won’t go in. I don’t know what I’m going to do and I’m just sick about my beloved plane! I love Rob Cosman and everything about the website and products overall, but I’m a little gun shy now about altering anything I have now with different products.
