Hitch-Hikers

Recommended Posts

I've forgotten who had the best price for hitch-hiker type screw locks, 1000 pk. It is a mail order company up north if I remember right but I can't come up with the name. Anyone remember?

Hagen's on the copper ones.

Barlow's on the Stn. Stl. ones

If anyone finds then cheaper anywhere else please post, I would like to find them cheaper also....Thanks

Thanks Cadman, I thought it was Hagen's but they must have just changed their website around. Didn't they used to have their catalog in a pdf format? I need the ones with the clip attachment. There is a place out in Ok called Mustang Wire, they make a SS like the Do-It but I've never called them about a clip on style. They likely make the screws for Do-It to repackage, I don't know.

I tried the SS ones recommended from Do-It but had some come loose in the lead. It needs another bend in it to make sure it holds, the copper clip takes care of that. I've heard of them breaking off but I've never had it happen. Anyone else have that problem? I wonder if heating them at a high temp in the oven has something to do with it while setting the powder paint. Any thoughts?

The one from Hagen's are the original Hitch Hikers, the ones at Barlow's are identical in size, shape, and wire hook on the bottom. The only thing with the Barlow's ones are they are stainless steel. I pour them both, and the stainless steel ones are a lot stiffer. Plus the Stainless steel ones are also cheaper.....E-mail sent.

Hey Cadman, I got the SS samples from Mustang wire. They are the same as the old screw-locs without the hook. Not what we are looking for. I broke down and bought a small bag of Do-It from Bass Pro to get me by but will order 1000 from Barlows at some point. We tried. Would like to know who is making them for Do-It.
