Some stainless steel is non-magnetic.

Sorry Jeff. I had added a post mentioning the desirability of using stainless balls (if such even exists) before immediately realizing SS is likely non-magnetic. So I deleted the post but not before you saw it and replied. But it brings up the point that I think should be made. Namely we should be careful about the quality of the balls that we substitute. A little bit of corrosion will render the coupler as inoperable. I don't know anything about metallurgy but I suspect the quality of anything made in China and that is surely where the replacements are coming from.

It would be nice if Frank would offer a small quantity of reasonably priced balls for those of us that need more than 3 at a time…..and not rely on China.

If Frank does it, he's gotta pay for them, too. Then he's gotta pay a minion to package them. And he's gotta pay for the little envelope. Then his minion has to prepare it for shipping. And then there's the pro-rated cost of paying the minion to go to the post office. Oh, yeah. The minion gets paid to fill out the envelope. Nope. For knuckles, which you can't get anywhere else, it's Frank. For these, see above. Ed Edward Sutorik

Ed:
I scrolled down on that linked page and noticed a "specifications" box. It says "watch out for rust" and "high humidity can cause rust". Not a problem if they are in a bearing submerged in grease. But that is not our situation. So I'm just saying, be careful. George

George,

An interesting point. I used to live in "high humidity", but I moved to "low humidity", with only a few regrets (fireflies come to mind). Ed Edward Sutorik
