Toe stepping?
Hell no,
People make their decisions and run with them. What best for one person or project isnt best for another. Its great that there are several QUALITY companies for us to choose from. Quite honestly, Im not using my own screws on my Gorilla project. Not because of any quality issues, they simply dont fit my needs. I choose Tonys for the project.

Why?
Quality screws that are BLACK.
I didn't want SS Bling on an all black ano chassis.

I have never been let down by RCS, Tony, or Hex.
