Don't google that at work. Or ever. Seriously, you don't want that in your cache.
So it you're not a total degenerate, you know that Quick Fist clamps are awesome little devices that hold all sorts of things securely in your truck. Go to www.expeditionexchange.com for a great description of uses.
But in my case, I wanted to hold a shovel onto the tire rack of the Bronco. Problem is, if the shovel rotated even a little, it would contact the tailgate.
The answer was two quick fists with an integral pin to keep the shovel from rotating. A 1/4x20 stainless bolt, with the head cut off and rounded over, did the trick. As a bonus, it's the same bolt used to hold the Quick Fist in place.
Then drill a hole in the shovel handle and it won't rotate or slide side-to-side. Boom, done, bring on the next project.
wouldn't that weaken the shovel handle? even though we shouldn't, there's always some prying done...
