Default Shift knob replacement options

Does anybody have a recommendation for a manual JK shift knob replacement? I don't want a permanent one (i.e. NO JB weld), and the cheap ones with allen wrench screws do not hold well. Thanks guys!

Funny timing for your post. I got a set of drake knobs for Xmas. The set screw has been working its way loose over time most likely due to the natural vibrations of the rig. Yesterday I was about the fling the thing out the window (sucks when your knob pops off on a 6spd) and decided I would try a little blue loctite on the set screw this time. Only time will tell but before using loctite, the screw would come loose after 3-4 days of constant shifting in city driving.

I will check out the drake's, but I have a feeling that the loctite won't hold through all the vibrations. Let me know if yours comes off again!
