5/32" x 2" Zinc Plated Cotter Pins

This pack contains one hundred new cotter pins made from zinc plated steel. Each pin measures five thirty-seconds of an inch in diameter and two inches in length. They are used to secure metal assemblies by inserting the split pin through a hole and bending the two tines apart. The supply suits automotive repair, machinery maintenance and general fastening tasks.

Corrosion resistance and installation

The zinc plating provides a protective layer that resists rust during normal service. Pins install by hand or with basic pliers, requiring no specialised tools or external power. The smooth finish reduces friction when passing through drilled holes, and the split tines bend cleanly without excessive force.

Sustained fastening reliability

Under continuous vibration or load the bent tines maintain their grip without loosening. The steel core retains its shape through repeated stress cycles, and the coating remains intact in typical outdoor or under-vehicle environments. Buyers needing longer pins, larger diameters or stainless steel material will need a different product.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 5/32" cotter pin and which step is often missed?

Insert the pin through the hole, then bend both tines outward in opposite directions; the step often missed is spreading both tines fully so the pin cannot rotate back out.

Will the zinc-plated steel pins need replacement due to corrosion?

The zinc plating resists rust in normal conditions, but in constant moisture or road salt the coating can wear through, requiring replacement of the affected pins.

What limits how many pins I can use from the 100-piece pack for a single job?

Each assembly needs one pin, so the practical limit is the 100 pins supplied; once they are used you must obtain more.
