I like the adjusting screw on these but you still have to initially rough 
them in by weakening
the spring. Actually I've found them too strong and have straightened out 
the 'dog-leg' in the wire
and giving it more of an upwards curve so that it engages the Teflon nut on 
the front side
rather than the back.
