[RE-wrenches] S-5! mini vs 2 screw

The big problem I've had with the minis is when you attach them with rail
and then walk on the rail it can pivot on the single set screw.   Often you
have to go back and straighten out the rails before mounting the modules.
I'd assume the resistance to uplift would be less too but that may not be a
problem.

Thanks,
Will
