I had a shaft and head that had gotten loose. I always had to tighten the head. After purchasing a new shaft, I decided to JB Weld the head and shaft permanently. Now I use one shaft with good threads to swap heads on, and the other I use and only swap the tips. (JB Weld is epoxy meant for gluing metal together, in case you don't know). Paul McCloud
