[Rhodes22-list] Ball-Lock Quick Release Pins

[Peter Nyberg]

The little balls that provide the ‘locking’ function obviously don’t stick out from the body of the pin very far.  So, you would only want to use one of these where the pin is somewhere where there’s a pretty tight fit.  I think I would only be tempted to use one where a failure would be annoying rather than catastrophic.
