knob bolts

[jet1]

i notice that people are changing the bolts inside their bags to knob bolts for eazy removing. i have found a supplier that sales a snap lock star knob that you can use the same stock bolts. if you are interested the web site is www.hartvilletool.com. you can get a package of 10 for 7.99 + shipping. item #41813 or you can use keyword knobs.

Those are cool! I'll definately save that link for future reference.

 

I bought some a little different from Reid Supply a few weeks ago. The price was right and the service was outstanding. I ordered one day and they arrived the second day after I ordered by first class mail. (First Class Mail was not listed as a quoted shipping rate, but I called and they said it would be the least expensive for a small order) These can be pressed on to a M6 socket head cap screw. I may use a little glue, too, but it's not supposed to be necessary.
