Description
Overview:
These metric split pins are 3.2mm in diameter and 40mm long, made from durable zinc-plated steel for corrosion resistance and long service life. Designed to pass through a drilled hole and be splayed to lock in place, they are used to secure castellated nuts, clevis pins, shafts, and linkages under vibration. Suitable for garden machinery, trailers, agricultural equipment, plant and construction machinery, and general automotive maintenance, they provide a simple, mechanical locking solution without threads or adhesives. The bright zinc finish aids visibility and helps resist rust in outdoor or damp conditions. Supplied in a workshop-friendly pack of 250, they are ideal for routine servicing, repairs, and keeping in stock for ongoing maintenance tasks across a range of tools and machines.
