Ball on forks?

[nbryan]

Drill the hole. Some guys flame cut holes (bad!) giving un-controlled heat treatments to their forks.

Fear mongering about cutting a hole in the pallet forks tip for a hitch ball is a favorite here.

The cutting torch only heats a slim line around the hole. I didn't have to turn the whole fork tip red.

And i've yet to be presented with any tales of drilled-fork-tips snapping off under load. Or even bending.

It seems you cannot customize practically ANYTHING or the safety police will sound the siren and inspectors will descend on your jobsite and take your customized" tools away. And fine you.

I really doubt most here live such a bubble-wrapped life that certain "dangerous" or "untested" or "non-oem" mods never get put to use.

I don't think there's ANYTHING that will bend or break that drilled or cutting torched pallet fork tip.

Erase my doubts and show a photo of that happening.

Only needed One of these 3/4” cobalt, and it’s unhurt and still ready to drill another.
