Good idea.  That's probably what I'll do when I get it  into the cabinet.

Thanks guys.

Just curious.. say you do this, and down the road you need to take the ball-top off, does this now become an issue?

no...blue loctite isn't permanent...

There are different grades of Loctite.  Blue is made to breakaway and crumble when a decent amount of force is applied.  It should stand up to the incidental rotation on the ball... hopefully ;

This worked perfectly.  No more ball slippage!  This stick is fantastic.  I highly recommend it.  My only gripe is that I didn't order a second!

Thanks Guys!

Just curious why Andy himself didn't mention the notches on the shaft that allow you to use a wrench to tighten the handle. Is it because its not unreliable? I used a wrench and got it on very tight without any help from some teflon tape or blue loctite and it didn't seem it would ever come off. Or is this method unreliable and will still loosen in time?
