39.99 corny's...

KegConnection.com Christmas sale. Just fyi. It was 51 after tax and shipping when you buy just one.

That is only for pin lock

Adventures in Homebrewing has ball locks for $39.99. Only thing wrong is loose handle or bottom. Guarenteed to hold pressure, and comes with manual prv

Why would one prefer one over the other besides dimensions?

Pin lock posts are a pain to get off.

Consistency with what you already have.

For me the biggest difference is pin locks generally don't have a pressure relief valve.

I have pin locks and never had a problem getting the post off. Don't know where you got that idea.

It's more if you don't have the socket

I agree with you on that, but you can either buy or make one. I made my own. Took all of 5 minutes.

I bought 3 of the scratch and dent corny's for less than $40 each. They are UGLY and DIRTY but they have the PRV and hold pressure. Count on new O rings and seals and completely dismantling every part too clean- but still a pretty good deal over my local $85 used prices.

FYI- if you get more than one- only take one apart at a time to clean. It seems none of the parts are the same

Haha. I learned that on my first attempt at cleaning mine. Now I just throw the parts inside the keg I'm cleaning when I disassemble them.

Each is different in their own way. I label the tops and the kegs when breaking them down. Only try to do one at a time.

Just picked up 3 ball locks for $60, all nasty with soda in them. Tore them apart, oxiclean soak, scrub, new rings (get bag full at mcmaster), keg lube, and back together sold one for $50 keep two for myself. Two kegs, little amount of work for $12 (maybe) is a good deal. I just keep on the hunt for them here and buy when cheap.
