"Hey Pat, in looking at some of those pics, it appears that they are VERY OLD, corded drill, really man, where is your up to date cordless ??"
[#0000FF]Hey...to me the cord IS modern. That was an upgrade from the wood -burning steam models I used before.
The cotter pin idea is good...if you are prone to losing the rod tubes. I ain't. Plus, on most of my current rod holder setups I use shorter tubes and the rod handle goes all the way through the tube. So a pin would be a blocking hazard. See pics.
By the way, one of the newer "refinements" on my rod tubes is to use a heat gun to heat and flare the top openings on the rod tubes. Makes it a lot easier to stick the rods back in the tubes during a rod change. See pic.
