[Elecraft] More Power Pole. . Roll Pin substitute

[Terry Schieler]

Similar to Phil's approach, rather than using the metal roll pin, I break off a wooden toothpick in the retention hole and put a drop of super glue on the toothpick.

I have to admit.  I hate those 2.1mm DC connectors.  Most are really not designed for current over 1-amp, though there are expectgions. I wish the KX3 had Powerpoles on it instead!  I have Powerpoles all over my ham shack and work bench, and have had no problems.  Rather than used those roll-pins, I use a dab of super-glue to hold the connectors together.
