Confusion with new purchase.


Recommended Posts

Can someone tell me what’s going on as I’m new to this whole adjustable driver thing… I bought this Aerojet preowned and it seems weird how the shaft and cobra tip are installed, it doesn’t look like other pictures online, almost looks like it has an extra ferrule? See image from link below:

It looks like someone just added a regular ferrule, not sure why. Cobra adapters don't actually use an added ferrule like other adapters. Maybe this person wasn't sure of that when they installed it and just threw one on anyway. It won't cause any harm to leave it on, but if you want to remove it without pulling the adapter, just heat it up some and the plastic will become pliable enough to pull off with some pliers.

thanks for the response, so it doesn’t affect length or anything? If it wont cause harm in any way I’ll just leave it on because I wont know how to install the other one back on and everything.

Correct. I am assuming the adapter is on all the way and the ferrule has just started to ride up (it happens). You don't actually need to remove the adapter to remove that ferrule. If you have a heat gun or blow dryer, you can heat up the circle part in the picture and it will melt a little bit and you can cut it with a box knife or something similar and pull it off. The adapter part itself is aluminum, so don't worry about getting that part hot, it takes a decent amount of heat to get those to budge.

I wonder if this shaft came from something else with a different bore depth or just a bad sanding job and they were trying to hide some sanded finish on the shaft.  It makes no sense to add that ferrule.  They could have as least tried to sand it down a bit to flow into the adapter.
