Pin lock. Pretty decent deal.

hmm, if I had a spare $100 I'd be all over this like stink on shit.

Hopefully a Brewnoser grabs them.

Is there any significant diff between pin/ball lock? Other than the connection of course. Ive got 2 ball lock, but would love to have 4 more kegs. If its as simple as changing lines, thats not a biggie.

Dammit. If I lived closer, I'd snap these up in a heartbeat! I am in huge need of more pin lock kegs!!

Nuff said lol. Replied to ad.

Stu, I think you beat me to the punch. If you are planning on switching out the posts, I'd be willing to work out a deal for those pin locks.

They are shorter and wider. That's about it other than the connection. Also a regular wrench doesn't work well to remove the posts.

I'm cutting a socket to fit over the pins if you want to remove them. Vice grips work too, although its not pretty.

You can also buy sockets that are already modified. Just something that you don't have to worry about with ball locks. Though with pin you also don't have to worry about switching input with output which is nice!

We'll see if we get em before I start worryin bout that part...no response yet. But if so, I can pick your brains about em t'morrow!

I looked at buying them, figured I could save buy making my own. I'll report on how easy/hellish of an idea it turned out to be.

My wrench must be irregular because it works just fine with my pin locks.

is it a socket wrench? What size? I find it a PITA to get a regular wrench around those handles.

I currently use pinlocks and am looking for some kegs... Wink wink nudge nudge know what I mean say no more

Still no reply....and I need kegs as well. Only got 2, and I do like having a variety on hand.
