Stef Posted November 4, 2011 Report Posted November 4, 2011 Good tip if you carry your auger in 2 pieces, makes it much faster to take apart and put together....
Jds63 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Posted November 4, 2011 thanks, simple little mod, when i get a power auger will have to do that
skeeter Posted November 4, 2011 Report Posted November 4, 2011 Great idea. Those pins are cheap enough to keep a few on hand. When a lake gets fed anything that doesn't float, it doesn't give it up. Just ask all my reading glasses.LOL
tjsa Posted November 4, 2011 Report Posted November 4, 2011 I have been using one of those since 2003, posted a pic of my auger with the quick pin on it. Important safety point. Use the right size pin. There are 2 diameter sizes out there. Get the one that fills the existing bolt hole. The smaller ones break because of the slop. My bud used a smaller one, it broke, and with the torque of the power head when it failed it pulled his shoulder and chest muscles pretty good. Have heard of 2 other people who hurt themselves by using the smaller size pin.
Terry Posted November 4, 2011 Report Posted November 4, 2011 Irishfield set me up with something like that some time ago..... long video for 10 seconds of info..but if you didn't know about these pins it is good info
ld17 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) nice tip. My jiffy comes standard with a quick release pin. I guess it's the small things that make you decide to buy one unit over the next. Edited November 4, 2011 by LD17
