Greenwich Couplings - Cutting the pin argghh!!

[Stephen Rainsbury]

I tried the superglue on the pin trick on a batch of couplings tonight, half worked and half didn't.  On those that didn't work nicely a tiny amount of glue wicked through the hole forming a friction pad so I had to strip them down, clean the ole again with a drill and pin vice and re-assemble them
Then I hit upon and even simpler idea, hold the pin BETWEEN to two sets of tabs, ie the middle of the coupling, using one of the tabs as the pivot then you can bend the pin and cut it really close. 
Note push the pin through from the side with the drop arm makes it easier to cut the pin :)
