00:00If you're running a CNC spindle and you're tired of overpaying for retention knobs,
00:04you're in the right place. Today we're counting down the top 5 CNC pull stud retention knobs,
00:10and trust me, I dug through thousands of reviews and sales numbers to find the ones people actually
00:14keep buying. Coming in at number 5, we've got a do-it-all option that covers basically every
00:20spindle type you can think of, BT, ISO, SK, CAT, and NBT. It's priced at just $2.86,
00:27and with over 4,000 units sold and a 4.6 rating, this is the one to grab if you've
00:32got a mixed shop
00:33with different tool holders. Super versatile, super cheap, and it just works. Number 4 is a
00:40high-precision pull stud that also comes in 45, 60, and 90-degree options for BT30, BT40, and BT50
00:47holders. At only $1.55 a piece with a perfect 5-star rating, this is what I'd call the smart
00:53bike. Nearly 4,200 people have picked one up, and not a single complaint worth mentioning.
00:59If you want precision without the price tag, this is it. Sliding into number 3, we have a retention
01:05knob built for both CNC milling and lathe work, in BT30 and BT40 with that standard 45-degree angle.
01:12It's $4.19, rated a flawless 5-stars, and it's sold over 4,400 times. This one's a great middle
01:21-ground
01:21pick, a little more money than the budget options, but the build quality speaks for itself.
01:26Number 2 is the budget king, and I mean budget. We're talking 93 cents for a single pull nail,
01:32available in BT30, BT40, BT50, and in 45, 60, or 90-degree angles. It's got a perfect 5-star
01:41rating and over 4,700 sales. At under a buck, you can stock up for your whole shop and barely
01:47notice
01:48it on your card. Honestly, this is the best value on the entire list.
01:53And finally, number 1, the best seller for a reason. This Haas-style BT40 pull stud features
02:00a 45-degree retention knob specifically designed for milling machine spindle parts. It's $58.64,
02:07which sounds steep compared to the others, but with nearly 4,800 units sold and a 4.7 rating,
02:13this is the one the pros trust for their Haas machines. If you've got a Haas and you want
