I hear you on the little bitty screws, RB! Hate 'em! By contrast, the posts with the slots in them are soooo much easier - slide the wire through and done. Wish all attys were that configuration.
When you've got your coil on the coil rod, and you're trying to position it over the air hole, and wrap the coil end to the itty bitty posts, hold all things in place and screw it down, is tough. At least for me it's tough.......
