emperors hand help! what are the blade retention screw size?

[phantom777]

hi
does any one know the size of the blade retention screws for the emperors hand lightsaber? I want to add a thumbscrew.I sent emails and checked the website but couldn't find any answers.
my past sabers had 8-32 I think? but I could be wrong its been a while since I got a saber. the ones in the picture look bigger?
anyone have the specs for the handle screws also?i got black and its awesome but may swap them out to gold if I don't like the black when I get it.
this is my fourth saber from US and cant wait to see this amazing saber up close when it arrives.
thanks in advance!

8-32  is the correct size for the  blade retention and the decorative ones around the handle.

You are going to be VERY HAPPY TO OWN THIS ONE! Emperor's Hand is one of if not my, absolute favorite sabers. Looks good, easy to wield.  Mine is a diamond saber. Please take pics when you get it. I really want to hear what you think of it.

Agreed, I have one myself and I love it!  It's in the Emerald driver though but still great

Yes, the EH is my number 2 behind the Bellicose.  Sadly my speaker has gone out and I have not had time nor $$$ to send it in for repair.  I got it in GB as well and I regret it.

yeah im getting the EH saber in blazing red with pyrostone orange flash on clash..and its a diamond saber. my first one!
so you guys are 100% positive the retention screws are 8-32? i sent US a message asking if they could add a second blade retention screw and  a retention screw hole for for the led i notice they tend to move around a bit
and want it to stay secure. anybody else notice this on the sabers and is the eh like this? i contacted us
but havnt heard back from them. i looked at the photos and i may be wrong but there might already be 2 blade screws? what color thumbscrews do you guys recomend for the eh ?
i was thinking gold or red maybe one purple. my saber has a black pommel and the hilt has the black screws on the handle part. it just looked right to me. and i got the square activation box with black switch led is red. they didnt have the angled activation
when i ordered the saber. i think the square is cooler though anyway!
so how is the diamond controller? all my other sabers are just a single color blade and i think emerald driver? except my older ones they have long since been retired . i have the scorpion with violet amethist and adagan silver as flash on clash. i never hooked it up
to my computer to change the sound fonts,i was happy enough with it at the time i didnt want to ruin it by messing with the computer settings. but the new saber im gonna go nuts and download all the free ones! is it easy to do? can i make different sounds for different blade colors? and does anyone know of the free ones?
thanks guys i will have to take photos!

You may have to convert them or find ones that are compatible with the Obsidian soundboard

Watch out for the extra loud fonts. If you don't regulate the level with the board volume control some loud fonts can blow your speaker.

I love my EH too it was my first!  I wanted to add that once you get the retention screw wrench size dialed in, be sure to go around the grip and snug up all the little hand grip screws. I had two of mine fall out right away. They are very stubby short, only a couple of threads. Thinking about using a little blue Loctite on them ..?    The EH is a little bulky for my hand size when spinning, and I am using lesser $$ sabers in my arsenal to practice with in case I am not standing on a drop friendly surface, but in the meantime I'd like to make sure the tiny ornamental screws don't work loose.

My first and only saber is an Emperor's Hand in Consular Green. It's absolutely beautiful. Plain and simple. It's got size, it's got style, and once you get used to the grip, it's comfortable. I think only one of the top screws is the blade retention screw. The other one holds the top ring of the saber, above the emitter. That screw gave me some trouble since sometimes it unscrews and that ring is moving. I didn't have any problems with the decorative screws.
A piece of advice: get some gloves first before trying to do some spins and flourishes with the EH. On the first day I cut my finger on the square activation box. The points are a little bit sharp, since the saber is a pretty heavy one (i use a UEHG blade) it can put a little bit of pressure on your hands and you will get cut or scratched.
