    Bomb Proof Toggles

    My first DIY post.....

    Since I mainly kayak camp, at 16 grams, weight is not an issue, these Bomb Proof Toggles are made of solid Aluminum and SS aircraft cable, I turned them from raw stock on my "homemade" lath...

    Lemme know what you think...

    No kidding on the bomb-proof! Though I think the SS cable is just a little over the top...

    Pretty cool...

    Thanks for the complements guys, I made a few more today and will post more pics tonight.

    I've gotten a few PM's about buying some, didn't really intend to sell them but I may...

    BTW: "homemade lathe" = power drill in a vice (old farm trick I've used to make my own parts for tractors and equipment in a pinch)

    Thanks again for letting me hang around....

    Are the cables crimped in place, or epoxied?
    An emergency of my own making...is still an emergency.
