Anyone reuse/repurpose their sanke spear, and if so--what did you do with it? Just curious...
Keggle owners--how did you reuse your sanke spear?

I cut some length off mine then took out the ball valve. Took an old tap handle and took the threaded rod out and used that in the sanke with a couple washers to make a unique tap handle. I have not heard of many other uses though.

I've seen people with sight glass protectors made from them.

I use my two spears to hold down the wheel barrow in the garage.

I was going to use it as the screen in a home made hopback, but I'm waiting on the Blichmann hop rocket. Depending on the price, I may just go with that.

I use it a mallet.
I hit the top of the keg with it, holding on to the "handle" where the spear used to be. It makes a cool percussion instrument.

I cut mine down a little and keep it in my truck for emergencies like maybe if I need to whack some carjacker in the head or something. It's easier to explain than an 18" section of 5/8" re-bar would be. It won't rust and possibly stain the seats either.

I cut them down and use them to weigh down the hop bag in the boil kettle so it doesn't float to the top of the keggle.
Cut a hole in the bottom of your sanke and weld the spear over the hole. Let the flames blow through. I'll bet your boil time decreases 25%. If I wasn't electric I'd try that.

They make a unique tealight candle post stuck into the ground around the patio.
that's exactly what I did... works great.

Kornbread,
Now that was a nice bit of work on the spoon bud. Clean and simple. Nice.

I followed these directions but just used the spear instead
