Hillman Zinc Extended-Prong Cotter Pins for Metal Fastening, 3/16 x 2 Inch

Product Description Hillman Extended-Prong Cotter Pins secure two metal parts together through a common hole, with a design tuned for fast, easy installation. Like any cotter pin, the looped head stops it from pulling through so a pinned joint stays locked, but the extended prong makes it noticeably quicker to line up and start into a hole on the line or in the field. Sized three-sixteenths by two inches, the pin has one prong extended well past the other, so it finds and enters a punched or drilled hole cleanly even when access is tight. Once through, you bend the two legs apart to lock it in place, and to remove it you straighten the legs and pull it back out, with the pin often reusable afterward. Made from carbon steel with a protective zinc plating, the pin is strong and resists rust and corrosion. That lets it hold its grip on machinery, trailers, and equipment through weather and demanding service, so a critical metal-to-metal connection stays secure over the long term rather than corroding or working loose. Use these pins for metal-to-metal fastening on machinery, automotive work, trailers, and farm equipment, securing clevis pins, axles, castle nuts, and linkages. The extended prong makes them a favorite where holes are hard to reach, and keeping a supply on hand means the right pin is always ready for a secure connection. From the Manufacturer A cotter pin secures two items with the use of a common hole. Place the cotter pin in the hole, the bulbous head will stop the pin from moving all the way through, bend the open tips to secure in place. Depending on the application, various sizes and finishes are available
