Actually that's a pretty good idea, not bad at all. Just think before those axle joiners came out, I used to use a couple of z24s linked together using the axle slotsto extend the output. Legomaster www.mylegomaster.com (22 years ago, 26-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Possibly for some, but that boom used at least 60 (most of which were previously unused), probably half were grey, and I couldn't hold the boom horizontally with the grey ones on the bottom (it would bend and fail), but with them on the top, (...) (22 years ago, 25-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) A quick test with two lt grey joiners and three of other colors could not confirm your results. 1 lt grey was loose, the other was quite tight. Could it be that you have used your lt greys more than your other colors, and they are more worn? (22 years ago, 25-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic)
