Yet most Farmers I know still insist on calling them a Clevis go figure .

When I say go fetch a shackle "What is that" is most often the response.

 

I've always called them, and still do.....a clevis

 

You picked it up from who family or local farmers?

I got schooled on this my first mill wright job. I also learned to call them a Clevis in my miss guided youth.

 

I'm gonna say I learned it from my dad. His go to word for something was "doohickey". "Bring me that doohickey over there"

 

I don't know, never looked into what the difference is.

 

Oh Man!!!!!!!! Wish me luck!

 

The hardware that gets tossed at the end of jobs!!

Because the quote paid for every thing cheaper to throw way then pay wages to clean and pack up.

Things that come home.

 

Shackles are primarily used in construction, rigging and lifting. A clevis is used in less demanding applications such as farming and towing. NOTE: Alloy steel shackles should be used for overhead lifting. Shackles with round pin solely restrained with a cotter pin are not recommended for overhead lifting.

 

A clevis pin isn't threaded. A shackle pin is.

 

Thats what I said yesterday when I opened the package. lol

 

Time for more egg rolls.

 

@My Name is Rahl

This carbide you ask about is just branded 'online-cabide.com'.
I'm going to assume its some cheap oversees carbide.
Hopefully they do their job!



On a side note. Rahl, I believe I meet you about 4-5 years ago in Lake Charles/Sulphur Louisiana while you where getting gas at a gas station. I was driving a Tan 2nd Gen Tacoma. Does that ring a bell?

 

Geezzzzzzzz... let the poor thing die already!

 

I would imagine they are overseas carbide. OSG or Monster Tool are my go to when I sell carbide end mills.

Unfortunately, that was not me in LA. I have never been to that fine state.

 

I mainly buy Lakeshore carbide and Harvey/Helical. But I have never tried thread milling so I'm going cheap till i figure it out! lol
