I saw these on Stewmac when I was lookin around. I think they are a genius design, no more sharpie marks to keep/remember your settings... But I dunno if I'm willing to give up $40 to $70 for a set of knobs!? The price quickly brought my happiness to a screeching halt  :o

I've tested them, they work perfectly..you pull them up to adjust and pull down to lock...
But the price tag is a big  no no....my designs ussually have plenty of knbs..

They look like precision machined anodized aluminum alloy with a spring mechanism... Go for it and send me a couple to test :icon_wink:

It's a good idea, but a bit hard to justify the expense when a marker pen will suffice.
However, some of our lab equipment uses plastic knobs that work this way, so there must be another supplier somewhere.

They have some locking knobs but I didn't see prices.
