"That's it?"

"Yup, that's it."

"Doesn't look like a shear bolt to me."

"If yer auger gets jammed, that's what you need."

"Okay, gimmie two."

$1.25 each for two 3mm hex bolts and nuts.

Upon arriving home yesterday afternoon, I immediately looked at an auger on my Honda snow blower and saw the hex bolt. It goes thorugh the flange on the auger and holds in place the piece that accepts THE FUCKING SHEAR BOLT! I decided to wait until this morning to return to Honda.

"I was hear yesterday afternoon to get auger shear bolts for my snow blower and the other cleark gave me these."

"Yup. Those are shear bolts."

"No. Those are little bolts and nuts. The shear bolt is about that long and has a hole in the end for a cotter pin."

"Oh. You mean these? These are shear bolts too."

He had a box of about fourty next to a box of the hex bolts and nuts NEXT TO HIS PHONE! &^%^*#@*

So I said to myself, "Shut up and smile."

I paid the man and wished him a good day and left. I looked at the two plastic packages and there was a cotter pin in each. I looked at the recipt... cotter pin... 2@$1.00... aaaagggghhhhhhhhh!

Honda must be payin peanuts on accounta they are hirin monkeys!
