How To Replace the Drive Key on Afflictor Hybrid Broadheads

Hi, I'm Chris with Afflictor Broadheads and today we're going to talk about how to change out your drive key. Stay tuned Okay, so on the hybrid models currently They all have a drive key with shearing technology and what that means is we built in to this drive key Which is what activates our blades drive key comes back the blades come out and then it locks these blades in place But this drive key has some special design to it It is made with some shearing technology Meaning we have a slight score where it attaches at the barrel of the drive key And what this does is when it impacts bone or something really heavy or hard this drive key tab will shear away So the broadhead can keep penetrating So it was one of the reasons that we have such high Penetration is because that drive key will actually break away when it encounters some heavy bone So everything keeps traveling through and you get a pass through but so when that does break You'll want to change that out. Now if you have one that Will can't or get stuck you can just loosen it in there with a pair of pliers and get it loose Where it's wiggling a little bit back So it's freely moving the blades and I'm going to show you how to take that out So there's two things that you really need to have to make this job easy One is a must you must have a triple zero Phillips This is just a real inexpensive Harbor Freight set to 99 and you're good to go That triple Phillips is the only way that you can do any repair or changes on any of our current hybrid models We will be changing over to another bolt here at the end of the year. But for right now It's that triple zero Phillips another really handy thing to have is a magnet So whether it's a refrigerator magnet or a table magnet or something It's really handy when you have these little screws and these other small parts They don't roll off the table fall under your carpet for the vacuum cleaner So if you get a magnet, you'll make your life a lot easier So with that being said with this drive key here What you want to do is you want to first take out the first the two head screws on either side Just unscrew them Again you set those over on your magnet Make your life a lot easier Now from this position what you want to do is just grab the blade from the side and push everything forward What that does is it brings the tip out of the ferrule position when you have that? We have a tip cap on one side just get your screwdriver in there loosen that and that tip cap will come right off Just like that Set that aside And then you can see our tip here. Our tip has the two lock pins, which The blades ride on we're gonna set that aside now You are able to now bring the blades back To the drive key hole position. That is that hole that's in the middle of the ferrule and From there if you just line up the blades just right You'll be able to get that barrel in position Where the drive key wants to fall out and you'll see because it'll start coming down towards the bottom when you have that All you need to do is a couple little wiggles and then that drive key will come right out and you'll have your drive key now What's really nice to be able to do here is if you can keep these blades in Position to where the hole Lines up still within the ferrule And if you do that with just your thumb and these two fingers you can just slide the new drive key right in and it'll go in and Then the barrel lines up with the hole in the ferrule And you'll just bring it up like this and then you can work it. So the blades come towards the top like that So now you have your new drive key in place You can bring your blades all the way forward And put your tip back on So from the drive key forward position, we'll just take your tip cap Put the blades back on Take the cap that goes over the tip Put it in place and then you'll just slide that back down into the ferrule Just like that. Now once that's in the ferrule, you can just replace your screws and you'll be good to go That's it there you go your new drive key has been installed Thanks for watching If you have any other questions drop them below or send us an email and as always Please subscribe and give us a like if you want to learn more about our hybrids and drive key activation Just check out our website at www.afflictedbroadheads.com
