Open these rings, pass them over the end of a shaft, and release to spring into the groove.

These rings meet military specification MS 16624.

For a smooth profile and better clearance than standard external retaining rings, the lugs on these rings point inward.

Also known as E-style rings.

These rings are reinforced to withstand faster rotation than other side‐mount retaining rings. Also known as reinforced E‐style rings.

Also known as bowed E-style rings, these have a curved design that works like a spring, taking up play for a tight hold.

These coiled rings can be wound into place on a shaft without tools.

No groove required—press these rings onto the end of a shaft for a firm grip.

Also known as flat-style speed nuts, these have a large surface to distribute loads better than standard and flanged external push rings.

Often used with small engines, heavy equipment, and power transmission, these external retaining rings have speared ends to help you install and remove them.

Also known as X-washers, place these rings into the groove and squeeze tight with pliers to form a 360° closure.

Squeeze these rings to place them in the groove inside a bore or housing.

The curved design of these rings works like a spring, taking up play for a tight hold.

Thicker and stronger than standard internal retaining rings, these withstand greater thrust loads.

Thicker than standard spiral rings, these rings withstand greater forces.

Also known as key rings, twist these rings into place to secure clevis pins, connect components, or add a pull handle. They don't have the sharp ends of other cotter pins.

The smooth ring handle on these pins won't catch on parts. A spring-loaded, nonlocking retaining ball pops out when the pin is pushed through a hole, and retracts when the pin is pulled out.

Two spring-loaded balls give these pins more holding power than quick-release pins with only one retaining ball. The balls pop out when the pin is pushed into a hole, and retract when the pin is pulled out.

Use these pins for visibility or to color-code processes. For a more secure hold than standard quick-release pins, they lock in place until you push the button to release the spring-loaded retaining balls.

The extra height and smaller width of the grip make the button more accessible in tight spaces. For a more secure hold than standard quick-release pins, these pins lock in place until you push the button to release the spring-loaded retaining balls.

Four spring-loaded retaining balls provide extra holding power. Made entirely of stainless steel, these pins stand up to corrosive enviroments. They lock in place until you push the button to release the spring-loaded retaining balls.

Also known as double-acting pins, these pins lock in place until you push or pull the handle to release the spring-loaded retaining balls. The T-handle is easy to grip.

Assortments include pliers to install external and internal rings.

Wind these retaining rings into a groove—no tools required for installation.

Pull these rings open with retaining ring pliers, pass over the end of a shaft, and release to spring into a groove.

Pull ring ends together with retaining ring pliers and place into the bore of a shaft or housing.

Choose from twisting, threading, cinching, and other locking mechanisms.

Quickly connect and disconnect these carabiners—they don’t lock.

Hold rope more securely than nonlocking and slide-release carabiners. While these carabiners are not as secure as screw-locking carabiners, they are easier to open.

Create fast connections with items, such as rope, chain, and straps.

The force of the load helps keep the arms closed. Press the trigger for quick connection and disconnection.

Squeeze the trigger to quickly release the latch.

For a more secure connection than standard trigger-locking snaps, squeeze the trigger and slide the latch grip down to release.

Choose these holders if you need several holders that open with the same key.

These rings pivot to secure loads in various directions.
