allen key/hex screws for snowboard?

[julz m]

does any one know if they make binding screws that are made for an allen key not a philips head screwdriver? i swap around my bindings pretty frequently and I am afraid i wont be able to remove my screws sometime.

As far as i know, all mounting hardware is phillips head screws.

all you have to do is go to your local hardware store with 1 screw find a bolt that it fits into then find a screw that size in the desired style

To narrow it down, the bolts are metric M6 course thread flat head machine screws in 8, 10, 12mm lengths depending on the thickness of the baseplate.

Now that I think about it some of them are round head, but whatever. I don't like the idea of using allen heads, I think a better investment is the right size screwdriver. Philips #2 should never strip them if you are doing it right. Now that I only have one pair of bindings that isn't broken I swap them back and forth between two boards depending on if I'm riding park or free riding and I've never had a problem with stripped screws.

 

More likely you will dimple the bottom of the board if you are over tightening.
