Thumb screws are easy to use, as they do not require any special tools or equipment. To use a thumb screw, turn it clockwise or counterclockwise by applying pressure with your thumb and fingers until the desired tension is achieved. Twist the screw in a clockwise direction to tighten it and counterclockwise to loosen it. If extra force or precision is required, a pair of pliers or tweezers may be used to grip the head of the screw.
