Don't tell, let us guess.
Um.............. SNAP ON!
The first version had a locking pin, which was a complete PITA, so I replaced that design with a spring-loaded version (they actually did snap on) when a space program actually ponied up some money for a set. They got a dozen, in 4 different sizes.
As an aside, the Fireball family has issues with consuming black pepper and the resulting gaseous effluent.
