Abstract: A twist pin for securing an outer cylindrical sleeve to an inner member concentrically received within the sleeve. The twist pin includes a first leg terminating at a first end and defining a longitudinal leg axis. A second leg extends downwardly from the first leg and extends more than 180 degrees around the outer circumference of the sleeve. The second leg passes below the leg axis proximate the first end at a crossover and terminates at a second end. A locking portion includes a protuberance extending inwardly toward the sleeve. The protuberance includes a bearing surface for contacting the sleeve and which is positioned below the first leg intermediate the crossover and the second end.

Abstract: A portable dig out tool for removing clogged silage from the lower part of a silo after the normal unloading equipment has failed.
