Old Bill finally bought a snowblower. It came with extra shear pins.(actually steel 1/4-20 bolts).I wanted to buy some more spares but they were out of stock. I could easily make some but I was concerned about using too strong of a material and NOT failing when they should.Hex head bolts or cap screws have marks on the head indicating their strength. I thought of using brass as it should fail before steel. My wife is worried that I do the right thing as I told her this is her Mothers Day gift.
