Telescopic stands mod

[suther51]

There has been more than one case of blood from the less than positive lock of the friction lock on those style stands at my bosses shop. Last time put the employee out of work for about a week if I'm not mistaken. Messed his hand up. Have to say I like the pin idea quite a bit, thanks. The stands get used and abused. Last year a job came through for 36 inch sch 80 concrete lined pipe. They bought some new stands for that job. Can only imagine the carnage otherwise.
