Description
Overview:
These metric split pins are 5.0 mm in diameter and 40 mm in length, made from zinc‐plated steel for dependable strength and corrosion resistance. Used to secure fasteners against vibration, they lock castellated nuts, clevis pins and other pivot or linkage joints commonly found on construction equipment, trailers, compact tractors and garden machinery such as lawn tractors and mowers. The classic twin‐leg design with an eye head makes fitting straightforward: insert through a pre‐drilled hole and bend the legs to retain the assembly. The zinc finish helps protect against rust in outdoor and damp conditions. Supplied in a practical 100‐pack for workshops and site vans, these split pins are a reliable choice for routine servicing, assembly work and preventative maintenance where consistent sizing and secure retention are important.
