Alvarez Kelly Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Not that anyone cares anymore, But I went ahead and ordered the 5/16 from monster, had to add $.42 though. I'll post update when I get em. You'll be glad you did. I ordered 5/16 beacuase someone else told me to on this board. The package I got (from McMaster Carr) shows that these were designed to fit over SOCKET HEAD SCREWS. As in, round headed screws that use an allen wrench. That must be why the thread sizing doesn't make any sense. There are some indentations inside that appear to correspond to wrench flats, so they will "bite" and hold on the Dillon powder bar bolt head. Like I said, I have them, I use them, and the package says they are 5/16s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALEKATNM Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'm guessing they'll work, but monster threw me for a loop when they started talking about threads and its hard to reason with a salesperson who only thinks in a linear direction. When they get here if they fit it will be great. If not, oh well I'll send them back! This blue kool aid thing is crazy! loaded my first 60 rounds tonight in like 30min, yeah its slow, but it was 243 and my first time running the press. HAVE TO BUY MORE STUFF!!!!! Thanks for hookin me up on the 5/16 thing, even if they do have threads, I have a BIG vice!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfpmb Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Checked home depot and OSH. Nothing. Just ordered on eBay. I like the fact you can just mark them at approximate load spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radioteacher Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I picked up two white knobs to go on the Powder Adjustment at Home Depot yesterday. One for the SDB and the other for the 550B. I am going to make a few other mods posted on this site as time permits. Trying to catch up by reading the FAQ's. Thanks for the post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvarez Kelly Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) The SKU for these knobs at Home Depot is 581-113. There are often several colors mixed in the same bin, if they have them at all. Make sure you look at post #37. The knobs from McMaster-Carr are cheap if you need lots of 'em. I ordered 20 ($4.95 per 10!) and shipping was only about $5! Edited March 5, 2011 by Alvarez Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneadam12 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I couldn't find what I wanted at home depot, but I picked up a plastic blue knob at my local gun shop. It is much easier than the wrench and was only $4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvarez Kelly Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I have some of those blue knobs that seem so hard to find. PM me if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightrock Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) My powder adjustment bolt is 7/16s. Home Depot in Little Rock didn't have any of the plastic bolt covers. A local hardware store did but not in 7/16s m Edited March 20, 2012 by Knightrock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueeyedme Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I went with the Uniquetek Micrometer on all of my powder measures - not the cheapeast route, but I highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A local hardware store did but not in 7/16s m You don't want 7/16s. You want 5/16s. It doesn't matter what size bolt you have. These knobs are made to fit over a knurled headed cap screw that uses an Allen wrench. Don't let it freak you out. You want 5/16's Rosette knobs. I have some if you can't find them locally. PM me.

Alvarez Kelly Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 If you have trouble finding them, I sell the "Dillon blue" plastic rosette knobs for $1.50 each, plus $3 for shipping, no matter how many you buy. So... $4.50 for 1 knob, $9 for 4 knobs, $18 for 10 knobs, and so on. I also have some red ones if you want variety. :-) I'll take PayPal, discreet cash, or a USPS money order. Sorry, no personal checks. Send me a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franco79 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 $3.00 for shipping? Thought someone on here was selling them at cost + a stamp or two to ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RePete Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 $3.00 for shipping? Thought someone on here was selling them at cost + a stamp or two to ship So the fuel to pick up the knobs, envelopes, tape etc and have his money tied up isn't worth money? I don't think that he's making too much if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tailhunter Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 No, that is very fair. Some people are just cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvarez Kelly Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 $3.00 for shipping? Thought someone on here was selling them at cost + a stamp or two to ship Well... I just mailed 2 knobs. The postage was $2.07. They mail as a small package. They can't be mailed in a plain envelope with "a stamp or two." I drove to the store and bought the padded envelopes and the tape. Then I drove to the post office and waited in line. Yeh. I must be making a killing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I was probably the guy selling them and shipping with a stamp or two. I tried putting them in a standard envelope with some padding. A few tore open causing me to reship. That ate into my bottom line. Still I think I was selling them for $4. AK is not making a killing, he is selling something that people want. If you don't want to buy from him then go to monster fasteners dot com and order one for yourself. You will find that you have to order a box of them and oh gee pay shipping as well. Of course, the mods were all over me when I sold them. I had to stop or become a vendor if I recall. Amazing that this talk of selling them is now allowed to go unmolested.

dferrier Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 This is kind of an old topic but I did a search on amazon and found this: http://www.amazon.com/Flowerette-Thumb-Screw-Knob-pieces/dp/B003R2VZAW/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1378614531&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=white+flowerette+knob They are Dillon blue and come 4 to a box. From the looks of it you pay 6.81 for 4 and 6.09 for shipping... Still, if you can't find them anywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
