Thread: Why Use Traditional Pivot Pins Anymore?

I'm in favor for pins. Always have. You rarely see me use a torx screw or adjustable on any of my work unless asked for. A perfect and well executed peening job will last. It did for the past 200 years as that's what they've used forever. The only downside with peening are some materials, ex softer woods, that no matter how good the peening is, eventually do loosen up. But the torx or adjustable would need to be tightened also.
