[Rhodes22-list] RINGS

[Michael Meltzer]

they get reused too often or put in with pliers, once their stretched out they can pop out on you. This is a old debate about
rigging that been going on for decades. On the other hand using straight pins on a trailer boat is a PITA. Buy a yearly resupply for
5$ and layoff the tools to put them on.
