Pinless Peepers

Post by labradors » Thu May 31, 2018 6:43 pm

Has anyone tried Pinless Peepers?

It turns out that I have a bully who wants to do a hostile takeover of the Chief Hen position. After isolating her for 3 days and spraying the two with injuries with Blu-Kote, I put her with the others and everything was fine for a day and a night, but next morning she attacked Isobel and drew blood :(. She is on her own again, outside during the day and in a dog kennel in the basement at night. I'm hoping that Pinless Peepers might help in this situation.

Yup, still working I recommend getting the pliers too, I found the peepers too stiff to work by hand , although it said they could be softened by warm water so didn't get them, but it didn't really make them more pliable and then had to try explain to the guy at Home Hrdw, what specifically I needed these for :)

Many thanks OC. Unfortunately, I had already ordered these from Amazon. Hoping I can find some suitable pliers in hubbies tool kit! I bet you caused a chuckle at H. Hardware {LOL}.

Thats exactly what you need..circlip pliers..they work great....not always easy to find on a hardware store but auto parts stores often have them...i hate the pin type blinders so the pinless ines are the way to go :run:

TomK, I wondered what the word "pinless" meant! Off to check out pin-type blinders!

OC, thanks for the circlip pliers tip. I will check them out too and have them ready for when the peepers arrive.

I still have plenty left and you would be welcomed to them, although I think the cost of gas would cancel out the saving .

Tom reminded me, it was Canadian Tire where I got the pliers.

Was absolutely planning to go, not sure now, we are having a bit of a high tech trauma, switching to Bell Fibe, probably skipped about two generations of heig tech evolution, from Dial up to Fiber optics, son coming over on Sunday to drag us in to 21st century and I think it's going to hurt.
