I'm talking about field work here. I've carried this in my tool case for thirty years. The #7 wood screw with the top cut off is just about right for most hitch pins, and is easy enough to turn too far and pull it back to open the loop further. The other end has the screw for winding the coil, with a pair of pliers holding the loop. Ron N -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
