Lost the little locking screw that locks the larger handle screw in place on a Pro Gear 545. Anyone know where a replacement screw can be purchased?

Thanks in advance,

No Good

Called the link and spoke with Danny. Sent my check and haven't received anything - yet.

Two weeks and waiting. Called again today, no answering machine. Phone just rings and rings and rings.

Anywhere else you guys could recommend?

Thx.

I believe you can use a Penn part instead of the Pro Gear, try the screw from a 113H or a Jigmaster.

To bad about Pro gear, hopefully they will resurface.

Everything came in the mail this week.

If you don't mind a 2 month wait, the link above can get you needed Pro Gear parts.

after losing many lock screws on my penns, I went to the hardware store, bought some stainless screws with the right shoulder diameter and a matching tap. I also turned down some stainless for crossbars on my old penns, and then tapped the ends for a standard sized stainless screw, no more broken screws or corroded crossbars. Tapping the handle is pretty easy, if you cant find the right diameter head just chuck it up in a drill and hit it with a file.
