What is the different between externally threaded Barbells and Internally Threaded Barbells?
• Though the Axiom does stock a few pierces of Externally Thread Jewelry for Navels, a majority of our jewelry is internally threaded. The difference is in how the balls or ends thread onto the post. With external the Threading is on the post and the post works like a screw or male with the ball working as a nut or female. With Internal the ball or ends has a post attached to it that is threaded. The post is counter sunk and threaded. So, the ball is the screw and the post is the nut or female. • Internally Thread jewelry is more expensive but the advantages are that the since the threading is not on the post it doesn’t present the risk of dislodging the piercing, it take more turns to tighten and loosen the ends so it reduces the risk of losing ends and since we stock IST(Industrial Standard Threading) Barbells, ends and posts from about 10 or so manufactures are interchangeable. If you’ve ever lost a end and couldn’t find a replacement that matched you will understand the importance
