so Jafrum International had a sale this past week or so. I bought a Inspire 3005- Plain for $49.95. Figured I could not go wrong for the price. I got it and it is an impressive piece of luggage and huge, there is enough room in that sucker for my kit for a 3 month deployment. Very impressed with the quality of the piece.
here are a few pictures of the piece.

- May 10, 2014, 16:14:16 PMAfter I got home I think I figured it out about the knob.
Like most guys who like to tinker and putter about with things, prior to throwing something out I take parts off in case I would ever need to use them or have a reason for them. The first knob I think is like from a table saw or some saw for the guide on the table, that is why I only have one of them, this is more for making things tight and securing them, and not need tools to do it.
D1, only went with the ones in the picture and right after a test ride I'll let you know if I can see/feel any difference, but that Troll guy is moving up on my list for sure.........GB, you are going to love this one.......

- May 10, 2014, 16:08:44 PMYou'll find every kind of threaded knob you ever dreamed of at a Ham Radio Swap Meet. I'm heading to the largest one in the world next weekend ( http://www.hamvention.org/ ), and there will be literally hundreds of booth's there with just knobs, let alone every other thing you can imagine. Look into Ham Radio stuff and you'll find knobs!
