Overview:
This R-Clip is a robust fastener used to secure drilled pins, shafts, and linkages on construction, agricultural, automotive, and garden machinery. Made from zinc-plated steel, it offers good strength with added protection against rust, making it suitable for outdoor and workshop environments. The clip uses a spring action to hold firmly in place under vibration. It has a 5.0 mm wire diameter and an overall length of 105 mm, making it a practical size for larger hitch pins and clevis pins with holes sized to accept 5 mm wire. Simple to fit and remove by hand, it is a dependable choice for daily maintenance tasks on equipment such as trailers, compact tractors, lawn tractors, and various plant attachments.
