I just got a Cobra a couple of days ago. I really like it but there is one problem with it. It seems that the top nut is only hanging on by one thread. With thicker gauge wirer I have a very hard time getting the top nut to tighten all the way....half the time it just falls off. I have completely tightened the unit by holding the bottom nut with pliers and tightening the positive post with a screwdriver. Anyone had similar problems? Any suggestions?

I have five threads sticking out with the bottom nut tight to the base. What is the total length of your positive post?

Thanks GDeal....I was wondering if my center post was too short now I know it is not since I also have five threads showing as well...but the threads in the top nut I have don't start until a couple of mm inside the nut....so I think that is the problem.
