Dave are you MAD??? you are releasing all your rights, implicit and implied so that others may benifit for FREE from the benifit of your experience..... You are indeed a generous man, Bill Gates didn't get wealthy by giving his ideas away.....

I printed off the image.. I'll ask the metal shop at work to make up three... one for me, one for production manager (who looks after the metal shop) and the inventory guy (who has to order the bits). Hopefully we will all get it at 'cost'. How much do we owe you for the picture????? confuse

I'll have my people contact your people lol!!

actually I have some heavy duty pegs that I constructed out of 3/8" mild steel rod as well they will penetrate very rocky heavy soil and some pegs for sandy conditions, if I get off early enough tomorrow I will photograph them and post for you fellers, I just find these things handy and I think you blokes will as well

I just bought a similar peg remover from Echuca (Vic) Camping for $25.
You could have a hidden talent and business going

yeah I was a bit surprised when I seen my remover on another website being touted there by someone else, I made my first one about 35 years ago and promptly gave it away, that practise continued for probably a couple hundred of the things, I got sick of making them in the end, as soon as someone came over and said "whatcha got there" I would hide it (stuff it under my shirt) and say "nuffin!!"

they cost bugger all to make and as I said it took me about twenty minutes to knock one up out of left overs, I'm soft and I prefer to help people rather than see the dollar signs and rip fellow travellers off, thats why I whacked it on here for all you blokes (and sheilas) to see and to make or get made

the only difference with this one is a coat of paint

Dave at least your gadjet works..... many gadjets are simlpy frauds, things like Hyclones, fuel calatysers et al and they want real money for those.....OMG next we'll have Bill Sheather on here trying to flog us his crock of shisen.....
It's OK, I'm just trying to find out who has been taken in by these things....

I bought one of those fuel whatchamacallits (goes in the fuel line) actually increased my fuel consumption

if I could work out a cheap way of posting the remover I'd knock em up for people here and send them out for bugger all, as I said I used to give them away, but then I never had one for myself

just thought I would show you this tool that I found whilst nosing around on the net, dont know who invented it but I pinched it and made one

it is very usefull in getting those pegs out which simply refuse to come out, it is about 18" long and the handle is roughly 7" wide, these measurements are not crucial neither is the angle of the extraction end or pivot distance

I knocked mine up out of a piece of 3/8 round mild steel that I had laying around, it took me about 20 minutes to do and works very well

Great invention will certainly make one when I have time to spare .

Got this one at a camping show for $10 use as a slide hammer for those little buggers who need a little extra to get out, also as a slide hammer to pull mudguards and the like off the wheel space if damaged in a blow out.
