Hi all, I can't believe all the messages my original post created. Well, today I swung by the local Home Depot and invested in a 13 piece inch kit that promised to include the 0.050" one. I am sure I will never use the 3/8" one, but I could use a new inch kit anyway. It came with a nice yellow plastic holder to hang on my tool wall. I had no problem putting the knob on, no excessive friction or tendency of the tool to slip. Just finger tightened it (them) and don't expect any problem with that one for years to come. Don't know what all the fuss is about.
