And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Adapt, Improvise, Overcome....at least until that snaps.
Since the crescent wrench is already available and the new pin would require an additional $8, why not? And it's not just the $8. There is the 8% sales tax, the gas to go to the store an hour away, and the lost time. Added all up, that new pin could cost $100 or more.
I once broke a crescent wrench on purpose. (The adjustment was trashed and the mine tool crib was picky about exchanges) That was a battle! Extremely tough steel! That might bend, but it would not shear.
Dirt, what looks like farm equipment... could be it's often needed and that's a good place to carry it?
ReplyDeleteNa.. someone lost the pin...
So use a $25.00 Crescent wrench, to replace an $8 hitch pin.

ReplyDeleteI have a small collection of hitch pins I found on the road. Looking forward to getting that wrench, too.

Wouldn't it shear?
ReplyDeleteDidn't appear to yet...
