yeah, what 165 said. i just got the paul hubs, which are very similar to the phils. they have the allen bolts and i was suprised how tight i could get them. i just got them on the bike this past weekend, but so far i haven't had any slippage.

I actually had problems with Phil's slipping because of my chrome dropouts. I kept stripping the heads from torquing down as hard as I could. They told me they had a new product called "chrome domes" which would solve my problem which they sent.
These suckers create a much larger grabbing surface than any other hub out there. They act as a large washer which distributes the tension evenly. Call Phil's up and upgrade if you have any sort of slippage with the Phils.

You can get them tight enough, but they will eventually slip ever so slightly. I get annoyed by that so I use a tensioner to keep it slack-free (also makes it a lot easier to center when tightening because it doesn't grab and lurch forward).
As for the skewers - it's not an easy process, check this thread for more info: https://www.bikeforums.net/singlespeed-fixed-gear/63312-locking-skewers-track-bike.html
