![]() 4318 forum posts 291 photos 1 articles | These are the screws used for locking gib strips etc. that have a handle which you can release by pulling it - it gives extra leverage even in situations where there isn't space to turn the handle full circle. Anyone know where to buy these, or better still does anyone have a good idea for a way to make them? The ones fitted to my X2 have all lost their splines - they are only white metal as far as I can see. neil |

I have no idea how the quality compares but, inevitably, they are more expensive than ARC's. http://www.manfrottospares.com/index.php?route=product/search&keyword=ratchet%20handle&category_id=1 MichaelG. |

![]() 4318 forum posts 291 photos 1 articles | Thanks guys, I think I remembered the 'entertaining' name from an Axminster catalogue many years ago, but the one on their site appears to be plastic. The ones on the Arc site are aluminium - has anyone got experience of these? Unfortunately I now have a bigger worry. Seem to have lost both motor and control board on mini lathe due to swarf ingress ![]() Neil |
