Trouble fitting screwback case ?

[digginstony]

Was talking yesterday to a friend about types of screwback case tools. He said his biggest problem was getting the back to catch it's initial thread.

So thought I would pass on how I do it.

It's back to my dirty old piece of rodico (might invest in a new piece one day) break a couple of pieces off, attach to the back. Your fingers grip the rodico, then you can rotate the back until you feel the thread bite. Then tighten. See pics

Another good method is using the rubber case back ball, sometimes i fumble about for a minute with my hands before getting it out of the draw, and then quickly a couple of turns each way and the case back finds and slips into the thread easily in my experience.

Yep, I fully recommend anyone getting a rubber ball. They're 1$ or so. Very good even for tighter case backs, sometimes.

I thumble a bit with a ball as well. Find a better sense of feel with rodico and can keep the caseback perfectly horizontal. Once the thread bites I use the ball
