    I'm sure by now most of us have run into the self locking clamp used in a few locations on the Husky's.. a normal wist of a properly located pliers and it will come undone..

    Lets see how many different types of tools have our riders have used to reclamp them... and not the proper one sold for the job( thayt would be too easy..lol)
