3 pairs left in the Barrie store. Tomorrow I modify mine for an opener spring....

[irishfield]

So.. with nothing better to do today. I added a compresion spring that I had around the shop, by slipping the ends in under the handle covers and staking in place with some super glue I had on hand. Figured while I was at it.. drilled the handle and added a 6 foot x 1/16th aircraft cable and a nice brass lever end to snap around any handy track accessory screw.

Great idea irishfield.Was the handle easy to drill?

[irishfield]

I tried it in the drill press first. .. and wasn't getting anywhere other than a bent bit. Did it by hand with a new 3/32 bit in the cordless and it was effortless. Guess I grabbed a dull bit the first round!

 

Anyone else want this done to your cutters... drop by CTC and buy the brass lever snap.. I have everything else here at cost!
