       Making and repairing tools with pins

       Its really not that hard to make your own tools like this
       though. A great relativly cheap source for hardened pin for
       making tools are roller chain connector links. They work great,
       aren't hard to find and come in many different sizes. A dremel
       or air tool with an abrasive blade will cut them right off. I
       have repaired a lot of tools purchased at flea markets with
       these pins also. Drilling the hole in a new tool can be a little
       tricky though. As simple as putting paper over the holes and
       rubbing with a pencil. Put paper over metal piece for tool,
       center punch and drill. Or a use vector angle algebra location
       algorythm or some sh_t like it. LOL Or put tool metal under a
       clutch clamp and drill all the way through. Probaly a good idea
       to use and old bad clutch though.
       Just some ideas
