    Ring-Grip Quick-Release Pins

    The most common choice for tight spaces. The split ring folds down when these pins are installed, and you can pull with just one finger to remove. Keep them from getting lost by adding a lanyard, or choose a pin that includes one. You can also attach tags to the ring to identify components. Pins have a retaining ball to hold them in place.

    Zinc-Plated Carbon Steel—These pins withstand occasional exposure to moisture. However, since friction from moving parts can wear away the finish, they're not ideal for wet environments. While not nearly as corrosion resistant as stainless steel, they are stronger and won’t deform under stress.

    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these pins resist rusting. They are strong enough to join most components but won't withstand stress and vibration as well as steel.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, these pins won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals. They're strong enough to join most components but won't withstand stress and vibration as well as steel.

    Headless Clevis Pins with Retaining Ring Grooves

    Secured with a retaining ring at either end, you can add and remove parts without having to take the pin all the way out. These pins are commonly used with rod ends, hydraulic cylinders, and other pivoting components. In addition to taking up less space than cotter pins, the retaining rings surround the entire pin, so bumps are unlikely to work it loose.
    Unlike most cotter pins, which install by hand, you will need retaining ring pliers to insert and remove the included rings.

    Flat-Head Quick-Release Pins

    With no ring or handle to get caught on nearby components, these pins won’t pull out accidentally. The low profile makes them similar to basic clevis pins. Although the thin head fits in cramped spots, it also makes the pin harder to grab. A retaining ball holds pins in place once installed—pull to remove.
