    Tooling Ball Covers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Tooling Ball Covers. Snap In.

    Snap In

    Protect tooling balls when not in use.
    Snap In—Install and remove without tools. These covers have serrated prongs that slide into holes and grip the threads. They're faster to install than covers with unthreaded holes but aren't as economical.
    HDPE—In areas exposed to moisture and chemicals, these hold up better than zinc alloy covers.
