    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.

    These pins conform to SAE International (formerly the Society of Automotive Engineers) dimensional standards.
    Carbon Steel—Stronger than stainless steel, these pins won't deform from stress and vibration. They perform best in dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

    Clevis Pins with Wire Retainer

    Since you can quickly install and release the wire retainer, these pins cut down the time it takes to swap out parts. They are typically used to connect drive shafts to equipment such as gearboxes, pumps, and compressors. The retainer pivots to accommodate nearby components. Also known as power take-off (PTO) pins.
