Replacement Mazzer adjustment collar pin

Ever need to replace one of these? And wonder why they cost $15 to $25?

No biggy you say. But then what if you needed them for nine grinders, it starts to add up fast!
Well, for 70 cents each I went another route.

M5-.8 50mm hex bolt with 3/16" shrink wrap. They work great at less than $7 for all nine grinders instead of around $200. :D

I have made more than a few of them. M5 bolt with a turned wood handle.

My Kony arrived with an extra one. No wonder the reseller wanted me to send it back!

My adjustment pin got rusty when I left a keychain PF hanging from it, so with the help of my father in-law I made up this replacement. Stainless shaft with joystick knob.

Now THAT is COOL. I'd pay money for that.
