Renner wippen losing pins

[Bob Anderson]

I concur with David V. that clipping both ends is more likely to damage
the bushing. The reason pins work their way out is that they don't fit
tightly enough in the birdseye. If you think clipping both ends is going
to stop them, you're wrong, IMHO(to use a favorite e-mail acronym).

With one end clipped you have a 50-50 chance of the smooth end getting
pulled through the cloth and into the birdseye. With both ends clipped,
the bushing cloth gets the short end of the stick in all cases.

To quote Cervantes' Sancho Panza: 'Whether the pitcher hits the rock, or
the rock hits the pitcher, it's bad business for the pitcher."
