Description
Overview:
These split pins are heavy-duty retaining fasteners for securing components on construction and garden machinery. Each pin has a 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) diameter and 3 inch (76.2 mm) length, making them suitable for larger shafts, clevis pins, and castellated nuts where a firm mechanical lock is needed. Made from zinc‐plated steel, they offer good corrosion resistance for outdoor and workshop use. The double‐prong design with a looped head allows quick fitting: insert through a drilled hole and bend the legs to lock. Removal is straightforward by straightening the legs. Supplied as a pack of 100, they are practical for maintenance teams, tradespeople, and DIY users who need a reliable stock of fasteners for mowers, trailers, compactors, mixers, and other plant and garden equipment.

Typical Applications:
Securing castellated nuts on wheel hubs and pivot points, retaining clevis pins on linkages, locking pins on trailer hitches and tow gear, fastening mower deck linkages, throttle and governor levers, and general plant maintenance. Useful on compactors, mixers, cultivators, generators, and lawn tractors where vibration could loosen threaded fixings. Appropriate for repair kits and preventative maintenance schedules.
Also known as:
Often referred to as split cotters, spring cotters, cotter keys, cotter fasteners, clevis pin retainers, and castle‐nut pins. Some users may also call them retaining pins or safety pins in workshop contexts. These terms describe similar double‐leg pins used to stop components backing out under vibration.
