Subject: Re: What makes a good hitch pin?



Don't know what kinds of cylinders they do, but I worked for around a year in a shop that repaired cylinders, among other things, lots of industrial and commercial cylinders. Some would come in bent, some would come in broken. Part of my job was to cut the rods to repair cylinders, some of them had to be preheated to cut, some of them not. Certain rods you might try to straighten, if you tried to straighten the wrong one, it would simply snap in the press. I've used the used chrome rods from that shop for several things, and it's rather unpredictable what they'll do in a given application. I've snapped off a couple rather large shafts using them as bale spears, even the little 1" ones for stabilizer spears. No way that I'd use one for a hitch pin.
