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.

Lock and release components again and again without losing your cotter or linch pin. These clevis pins have a lanyard or chain that keeps your securing pin attached. The loop handle is large enough for multiple fingers, so you can get the leverage you need to easily grip and pull it. They’re often used for towing and other applications that require frequent pin removal.

Easily grip and pull these pins to quickly release components. The loop handle is large enough for multiple fingers to give you more leverage than you can get with standard clevis pins. These pins are often used for towing and other applications that require frequent pin removal.
