1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Almost every time I look down there though, I see something nice, start scrolling through the photos, and it's NOT 4x4 - Whaa WHaa WHAAAAA.
I've punched in Amarillo/DFW/Austin/and assdog's area before, figuring I could bribe one of you to help me complete the Quest.
We have been hemorrhaging cash since we moved, and I'm still trying to get us settled in... have yet to build out my shop area.

Let us help you spend more money. That's what friends are for.

 

I have. They didn’t rate as highly as Grey Pneumatic for impact swivels though. However, they do have good service with their lifetime warranty.

 

The pivot pin that holds the socket to the base. The weakest point in the socket which breaks and potentially becomes a missile. If it hits you, it can definitely do some physical damage if it isn’t designed well enough to hold it in place when it does snap.

 

The little ball?

 

Nope. Different pin; see center pivot pin of diagram below.

Edit: Probably goes by the description of pivot pin than retaining pin. My mistake.

 

Oh I missed that you were talking about a swivel. I thought you were talking about a socket. I can't say I've seen that design before though. I have some of this style swivels, which do appear to have pins.

I guess those are kinda like u joints

 

thanks dude
