My Atlantis does not have them. I've only had 1 bike with them & it was a small job with a file to remove them. IMHO, all the fiddling around with the skewer nut every time the wheel is removed leaves plenty of room for error in getting the correct tension. I support tours on occassion and see many riders needing assistance with this situation. The best skewer levers are the ones marked "open" and "closed".
