The Riddell Thumb Screws can fall out of your helmet if not securely fastened and are frequently lost. All that hitting and jarring can loosen these vital pieces. These are OEM replacements for all Riddell helmets that come with thumb screws including the SpeedFlex. Works well with the Riddell Quick Release Tool.
If just one of these pieces falls off the helmet during play, the helmet could basically be rendered unusable until its replaced. Good luck trying to find it in the grass or turf under the lights on Friday night. We recommend keeping these in your bag as a backup just in case one of those emergency situations arise.
