Products Description

Cotter pins, also known as split pins and cotter keys, are a steel formed pin inserted into a drilled hole of a clevis pin or other mating assembly. The pin has a split end that is separated to secure the part after insertion. Most cotter pin installations are simple, quick processes that usually only requires simple tools like pliers. Simply insert the split end into a pre-drilled hole, clasp the extended prong with a pair of pliers, and bend it backwards until it wraps around the mating fastener. Bend the shorter prong back in a similar manner - this will lock the cotter key in place.
Cotter pins are used with castle nuts to lock the nut onto a bolt and prevent it from spinning loose accidentally. They are usually made of soft metal, so they can be bent by hand or pliers while still making them difficult to remove.
