    Cotter Pins

    Lock the ends of clevis pins and shafts to keep components in place. Slide these cotter pins into a hole and then bend the prongs outward with pliers to secure. Also known as split pins, one prong is slightly longer than the other for easy opening once inserted. Repeated bending will weaken the pin, so they should not be reused.

    260 Brass—Often used outdoors, these pins resist corrosion and won’t become brittle and snap in low temperatures. Brass is softer than other metals, however, so pins could deform under stress.
