Kevin - the only real benefit I could think of is the elimination of pointy screw ends on the underside where you can hook some skin if under there fiddling with something. That and having a new tool for your tool chest to play with.

That's what I thought...I believe when ERA builds turn-key cars, they use the same screws that my unfinished car came with. I love new tools and have considered rivnuts, but still trying to understand if there is a real improvement before going that route.

Thanks,
