You're the expert old man (by the way, happy birthday last month). If chewing gum does the trick we're probably talking pennies, not dollars. t On Wed, Aug 1, 2012 at 8:43 AM, jerry montgomery <jerry@jerrymontgomery.org> wrote:
Is that 10. worth of chewing gum, Tom?

I agree with sal, it's a matter of individual preference.
I prefer inexpensive yet elegant--if I come up with a reliable approach of my own devising, that's for me. Plus I'll always spend $10 rather than $80 (with a Clove Hitch it's surely even less expensive...), which is roughly the cost difference between my homemade solution and the tiller clutch.
The tiller clutch is probably a lovely device. More power to those who choose it.

Perhaps it's just preference? You can walk to town, take the bus or drive. All ways get to town. The tiller clutch is very convenient for some. just lift a finger. All good, just different.

I guess I just don't get it. Any time I wanted to lock the tiller down I used a clover hitch around the tiller and cleated off each end. Easy to adjust on the fly and holds firm.
