Mitre saw stand broken nuts

[Turner85]

So I bought the dws780 and stand a couple of months back and after only a handful of uses I was packing it away today and I noticed the black plastic tighteners used for attaching the height adjusters to the extending arms of the stand were both cracking and falling apart where the screw threads in. I haven't been overly tightening or anything, I take it there just poor quality, has any one else had this problem and replaced them with something superior.

Can you replace them with a same thread wing screw like this

Possible, it's just a tight space to fit your hand. I'm wondering would I be able to get in at one of them
