Another Safety Issue

[Luke]

Sam -

Thank you for the excellent tutorial. I have just completed two items, and they both worked perfectly.

I am in a small town and we do not have a local production tool house here. However, Howard, policeluger, sent me a piece of stock and, with the help of your instructions, I was able to get two perfect pins out of the stock.

Thanks much for the stock; I could not have succeeded without it. Very considerate of you to mail the material to me.

OH, BY THE WAY . . . . .
In the process of doing this, I checked my spare parts box and found that 2 of my 4 spare rear DWM toggle links have similar problems; the pins are broken off flush with the underside of the hole. Strongly suspect this is a common problem.

AND, RUNNING ON . . .

These two could not be repaired, because I could not get the old, sheared pins out. I ruined three punches in the attempt. They are now soaking in WD-40, but I suspect this will not help. They are REALLY tight in those little, tiny holes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Again, thanks much Howard & Sam for the stock and advice.
