hard to explain Knobs....

[jeffremiller]

Ever see a benchmark drop? The screws have these little plastic knobs that snap into the allen head so you can tighten them by hand.

Where can I get the knobs?

Links please or suggestions? I don't really even know what to ask for.

EDIT: OK... they seem to be called Thumb Screw knobs and I found a place that sells them in packages of 100 but what size do I need? Is it a #4?

the ones i had were molded around the bolthead, only to take them off was to break them. So i dont think they clip on.. or at leased mine didnt

[jeffremiller]

they definitely look like they are molded on... but if/when they pull off, you'll notice that they just pop into the allen socket on the screw. Problem is, mine are gone and I could use a handful of these things if I can find them.

eh maybe try calling benchmark? but arnt they pretty much in with Proteam? i dunno what to tell you.

im sure you know proteams website already but if not then.. www.proteamdirect.com and there are benchmark links off to the side

[jeffremiller]

yeah... I checked there but haven't called.

This is what I'm looking for... but I still don't really know what to call it or who sells them in small quantities.

also need to figure out what size I need.


EDIT: Here's a better site with an asortment pack... nothing else, I might order one of those tomorrow.
