njl Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I recently got another powder bar and wanted one of the press-on dials to make it tool-less. I'd previously found them at one of the Home Depot's in the area, but they no longer stock them I did however find that using Home Depot's IOS app, I was able to scan the bar code from the bag one of my old ones came in (yeah...I'd kept the bags in one of the drawers of my reloading bench), and order them with free shipping to store. They're about $1 each, so with tax, I bought 5 for $5.86. It only took a few days for them to be ready for pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjames32 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I went to Home Depot today and found they were no longer a stock item. I'll try in online ordering! THX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjames32 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Home Depot on line would not let me order so I've given up and bought them on E Bay. Wasting my time when I could be loading or shooting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njl Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Were you trying via the web site or smart phone app? The ones I got via the phone app are the round white, model 77998, sku# 561671. $1.10 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvarez Kelly Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I still have them in blue and a few red ones, a bit cheaper than the ones on eBay... See post #10 for specifics, then PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjames32 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I was trying online, not with smart phone. Bought yesterday on E Bay. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tires2burn Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Ace Hardware has the blue, red & black rosette knobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breacher217 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 What section are they in at ACE? What is the intended use for them? I can never find them and the employees have no clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tires2burn Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) At my Ace they are in the nuts & bolt section in the slide out containers with small compartments. Keep looking. These don't have a bolt or anything on them. They snap fit right over the existing head of your powder adjusting bolt. I think they are the 5/16 size.

Breacher217 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 My local ace only had the ones with a bolt or nut embedded in them already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard B Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 While not as fancy as the plastic knobs, some epoxy glue and a small wing nut works well. You just have to find a way to set the powder measure so the slide bar is up while the glue hardens overnight. Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tires2burn Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Put the adj bolt in a vise while the epoxy kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
