Quickie

these slics have a softer radius than the ones you might be used too

Cool!

 

[Steve Connally]

Steve you really need help! Anyone for an intervention?

Just dont ask me about the order I made last night. Every time I think I've got everything I could want, bam. There's a new gizmo or something shiny.

 

[Tuebor]

Yep. Ordered a Quickie this evening. Half hour later, ordered a hank of Sterling Scion.

Lots of easy ways to increase the bend radius on the pin...



Hose, PEK tubing, PVC tubing, Aluminum tubing, SS pipe/tubing, brass bushings, nylon bushings... look around in hardware, farm supply, home improvement stores. Downside of this, though, is that it makes for another piece to drop. Handy for stuff you're putting together on the ground, or semi-permanent attachments for experimental projects.

 

[Treezybreez]

The only problem I can see is dropping the tubing from up in the tree. Oh yeah and I don't trust creepy clowns.

 

[JeffGu]

...and I don't trust creepy clowns...

You didn't have a bad childhood experience with creepy clowns, did you? It wasn't me... honest...

 

[southsoundtree]

A high school friend of mine in Chicago has a picture of him on Gacy's lap, dressed as a clown!!

 

[JeffGu]

Oh, I bet that one's a real ice breaker at a party...

 

[Steve Connally]

Man this thing is nice and beefy. Nicely done.

can't wait to get my hands on one of these. ill reserve judgement till i have more experience and knowledge with this slickpin. Still, I imagine the safety factor or lifespan of the slickpin would increase if it had both threads AND locking pins. any thoughts?

 

[monkeylove]

It would but getting the Slickpin back through the tapped hole would be a bitc....I like the forward thinking though.

 

[jami5490]

yeah didn't think of that, it would be like cracking a vault haha. I can think of a dozen uses for the quickie as is, i'm just brainstorming here.

call me old fashioned, I'd really like to see a version with a stationary slick pin version . maybe a pin that would have a terminal with clockwise threads a smooth space and then counter clockwise threads.

 

[Tuebor]

Got mine today. Beefier than I expected.

 

[JMerritt]

Kevin, any plans to make a long version? I can think of a few uses for one of these that is maybe 2x as long as it is wide. Did you have the bow custom made? Looks great

 

[Richard Mumford-yoyoman]

I would think the longer the shackle the more the side load issue starts to become an issue.

 

[Magnum783]

Rich, Is this the shackle you were using with your HH2 a while back????

 

[Richard Mumford-yoyoman]

With the HHX. I have seen this attached to HH1 but like the bow shackle I used a couple of years ago, the lower screws need to be replaced and counter sunk or the heads ground down.

yes they are custom.

Yes with the HHX are they one and the same?
