    Tethered Loop-Grip Clevis Pins

    A lanyard or chain prevents your pin from getting lost when removed. With a large loop handle that's easy to grip and pull, these clevis pins are often used for towing and other applications where you regularly secure and release components.

    With Cotter Pin and Lanyard

    With Linch Pin and Chain

    Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-Plated Carbon Steel—With a more durable finish than clear zinc plating, these pins hold up in wet and outdoor environments although not as well as stainless steel. Because the plating resists wear and the steel holds up under stress, they're good for pivoting parts, like rod end linkages.
    Cotter Pin Included—The hairpin cotter is quicker to install and remove than a linch pin but not as secure.
    Linch Pin Included—Less likely to get knocked or shaken out of place than a hairpin, the linch pin has a ring that snaps down and locks.

    Clevis Pins

    The most commonly used clevis pins—just slide a cotter pin into the hole to secure parts. These pins have a flat, low-profile head to fit in tight spaces. They're less likely to get in the way than pins with a loop grip or T-handle but aren’t as easy to grab if you want to remove them frequently. Add your own cotter pin, or choose a clevis pin that includes a reusable hairpin cotter.

    Double-Locking Quick-Release Pins with Key

    Limit who can remove these pins by requiring a key. Unlike double-locking pins with a cotter, you only need access to one side of these pins to remove them. Unlock and the button pops out so you can push it to release the retaining balls.

    Low-Profile Knob-Grip Retractable Spring Plungers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Spring Plungers. Low-Profile Knob-Grip Retractable Spring Plungers.
    With the sleekest knob we offer, these fit in areas with low clearance, such as in between conveyors. They tighten with a hex key for installation in cramped spots where your fingers might not reach. Tug the knob back to manually retract the nose so you can position, align, and lock components as needed for your job.
    Spring plungers are available with or without a threadlocker. Those with a threadlocker won't wiggle loose from vibration. Spring plungers without a threadlocker are easier to remove.
    Steel Nose—The strongest, most wear-resistant noses, these won't deform from stress and vibration. Steel is best for dry environments, however, since moisture will cause it to rust.
    Twist-to-Lock—Free up both hands to adjust your workpiece or switch out parts without the plunger springing back and getting in the way. Pull back the handle and twist to lock the nose in its retracted position.

    Ball-Nose Spring Plungers

    Align, position, and lock moving parts for most machining and assembly tasks. These spring plungers have a spring-loaded ball that compresses when a part presses against it, and then pops out into a notch or groove to hold the part in place. Unlike long-nose spring plungers, the ball rolls easily in and out of position, so they're a great fit for applications that require consistent, smooth movement, such as positioning parts in an assembly line and aligning fixtures and jigs when cutting or drilling.
    Spring plungers are available with or without a threadlocker. Those with a threadlocker won't wiggle loose from vibration. Spring plungers without a threadlocker are easier to remove.
    440C Stainless Steel Nose—The strongest, most wear-resistant stainless steel noses, these grind against hard metal surfaces without denting or scratching. However, they are not as corrosion resistant as 316 stainless steel.

    Toggle Anchors for Hollow Block and Brick

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Anchors. Toggle Anchors for Hollow Block and Brick.
    Embed in hollow walls and ceilings to create secure female-threaded connections that let you remove and reinstall a screw or threaded rod. These anchors have the highest pull-out strength of any of our anchors for hollow block and brick, and are made in the U.S. Often used in cinder blocks and hollow core panels, their toggle bar pivots inside hollow cavities for a firm hold. They’re similar to toggle bolt anchors, but require a smaller hole, so you won’t end up with a gaping hole in your block or brick.
    To install, push the anchor through your component into a drilled hole and twist it 180°—gravity drops the toggle into position. Pull the anchor to secure. Twist the anchor back 180° to collapse the toggle and remove the anchor.
