The Detect-Ed Thumb Screws are replacement hardware designed for Detect-Ed upper shafts. Detectorists running Detect-Ed shafts need secure coil mounting at the lower stem joint, and worn or lost thumb screws compromise lock tension. These screws restore the original factory fit and eliminate wobble during swings.
What's Included with the Detect-Ed Thumb Screws
- Two replacement thumb screws for Detect-Ed upper shafts
Why Detect-Ed Shaft Users Keep Spare Thumb Screws
- Direct replacement for worn or lost thumb screws on any Detect-Ed upper shaft, restoring the factory stem-lock tension that prevents coil wobble mid-swing
- Field-ready spares eliminate the hunt-ending scenario of a dropped screw in tall grass or sand, letting you swap in a fresh one and continue detecting
- Threaded design matches the original Detect-Ed hardware specification, so installation requires no adapter or modification to the upper shaft collar
- Compact size fits in a finds pouch or detector bag, and the low replacement cost makes carrying a backup set practical for multi-day trips
Threaded Hardware for Detect-Ed Upper Shaft Collars
The thumb screws thread into the collar on Detect-Ed upper shafts, the same mounting interface used across the brand's shaft lineup. The threads are cut to match the factory specification, so the screws engage smoothly without cross-threading. Tighten by hand until the lower stem is secure, then check for lateral play before starting a hunt. Over-tightening can strip the collar threads, so firm hand pressure is sufficient. We keep a pair in our detector bag as insurance against field loss, and the compact size means they take up minimal space alongside a Detect-Ed coil cover or finds pouch.
