Nothing I hate more than having that spring loaded ring on the clevis pin snap and hit my fingers. I swear, it is worse than hitting your thumb with a hammer. Mine are numb so that doesn't hurt anymore. LOL

But having that ring snap my finger on a cold morning takes 60 years of Church indoctrination right out of me.

RAT Traps are NICE compared to those lynch pins !!!!
The one 'trick' I try to remember, is to spring them JUST enough to get them off, then allow them to close BEFORE I grab them for good

BTW left thumb still has 'black reminder; where the square drive bit, bit....2-3 months ago.....

getting old is fun, right !!??

You'd think you would have learned your lesson by now! Don't report it to the government, they'll outlaw them in order to protect the rest of us who never get their fingers smashed.

Simple solution…. Since most Lynch Pins these days are made in India… become educated in Hindi so you can be assured of the Most Appropriate words to use: https://blog.karlrock.com/list-of-common-hindi-swear-words/

Yep, it's right up there with getting a paper cut in that already open gaping split in your thumb that just won't go away all winter. Now I know many of you won't understand being from a warmer climate and all but just think back to the first 3 days after having a vasectomy, got your attention now don't I.

I used a rusty pocketknife and some old Burbon. Did it myself and saved a bunch.

Did I mention I am a former Marine.
