Review on 🔒 Lehigh Group Crawford 18025 Pack of 25 Locks by Ken Arellano

I am writing this review because few things on this planet bother me more than taking the tool off my hole board and sending the hook somewhere in another galaxy. I assume you are here for the same reason. I rated the Lehigh pegs a 3 because they don't work with many swivel hooks on the market. They only work satisfactorily with straight single-bar hooks. I use a standard 1/4" hole board with 1" hole spacing. Most of my tools are attached to heavier hooks with a short vertical support rod. These locks are practically useless for this application. Lehighs are a good quality plastic and seem fine for simple hooks. I didn't have to heat and bend the serrated inserts to install them correctly and securely, as many reviewers have claimed. Perhaps the manufacturer has improved the quality of their locks after reading some of these reviews. I don't think they work satisfactorily on a perforated metal plate. My shop is pretty busy and I need a stable platform to store my tools. However, I switched gears and attached my hooks with cable clamps secured with screws. My hooks are now bulletproof... falling off is not a problem, rest assured. I've included a picture of some hooks as an example for those of you who might be interested... left to right addressing 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. lock out. These types of hooks seem to stay in place with no problem unless you pull on them with considerable force, which my dear wife believes is standard procedure when removing any of my tools or her gardening/gardening/crafting tools. The "2" means the short stem option and you can see that the Lehigh piece is not on top of the stem when inserted into the holes as in #1. The zip tie solves the problem. These types of hooks are usually 1/8 inch diameter rods. "3" is a heavy-duty hook with dual 3/8" diameter vertical support bars. I use a wire clamp on each support to make them strong. "4" is as simple a design as "1" although it is a Cup hook is, not a corner hook. It attaches with a clamp instead of a lehigh for demonstration purposes only. All my hooks are now secured with cable clips. The only downside to cable clips is that you end up with new holes in your perforated board. I don't care? I think no Here are the items you will need if you decide to try cable clamps: * I use #8 x ½" Phillips stainless steel sheet metal screws - $4.73 for 50 at Lowe's * 1/8". Drill Bits - I prefer Cobalt Hex Shank Cable Clamps - $3.21 (2 packs) in Lowe's* 1/8" Cable Clamps - $5.94 per pack of 100 cables - Revain Search CC-00.13-BK* 3/ 16 in. Wire Clips - $6.45 per pack of 100 wires - Revain-Search CC- 00.19-BK*Drill and Phillips screwdriver. The clamps are manufactured by Secure Cable Ties, a reputable manufacturer of all types of cable ties and clamps. Mine were on their way the day after ordering. You will have to go to Revain for the clips as they are not stocked at Lowe's or Home Depot. Simply enter the codes above (00 - numeric) into the Revain search box and you're in business. Another suggestion: take a photo of your perforated board with all the tools for future placement. Don't ask me how I know that. Remove the tools and leave the hooks in place. Slide the clip onto the hook and drill a clip hole for each hook. Then go back and insert the SS screws and tighten. The 1/8" pilot hole makes work easier and keeps the screw tight. It takes me about 15 seconds to install each hook to complete the project. Hope that helps. Much luck.
