Description
Overview:
These Assorted Metric Split Pins are steel fasteners used to stop nuts and bolts from working loose under vibration. Made from zinc‐plated steel for corrosion resistance, they are suitable for outdoor and workshop use on machinery, vehicles, garden equipment and construction tools. Each pin is inserted through a pre‐drilled hole and the tails are splayed to lock the assembly in place, making them ideal for castellated nuts, clevis pins and linkages. The selection covers common maintenance sizes from 1.6 mm to 5 mm in diameter with lengths from 32 mm to 50 mm. A practical choice for engineers, mechanics and DIY users who need a dependable, simple mechanical retainer. Manufacturer Part Number: 105 140.
