5/32" x 2" Zinc Plated Steel Cotter Pins

This pack supplies 25 split pins made from zinc plated steel for general fastening tasks. Each pin has two tines that bend during installation to lock components together. The zinc coating adds corrosion resistance for outdoor or automotive use. They suit mechanics, fabricators and DIYers who need a simple mechanical lock.

Replaces worn or missing split pins

Use these when an existing cotter pin has sheared, corroded or been removed during maintenance. The jump is worth it whenever a castle nut, clevis pin or drilled bolt must be secured against vibration. They are not for buyers who need a reusable quick release fastener or a higher shear strength pin than standard steel provides.

Easy hand installation with basic tools

Insert the pin through the hole, then bend the tines outward with pliers to lock it in place. What usually goes wrong is selecting a pin diameter that does not match the drilled hole, leaving too much play or preventing insertion. Ensure the tines are fully bent back against the nut or washer so the pin cannot rotate free.

Questions about this item

What hole diameter do these 5/32 inch cotter pins fit?

The pins are made for a 5/32 inch hole; the split tines spread after insertion to lock the assembly in place.

How are these zinc plated steel cotter pins installed correctly?

Insert the pin through the aligned holes, then bend both tines outward with pliers; the common error is bending only one tine, which can allow the pin to vibrate loose.

When should the 25-pack of cotter pins be replaced?

Replace any pin if the zinc plating is worn through, the steel shows rust, or a tine has cracked from repeated bending during removal.
