How the Two Pin Styles Work
| Stage | Split cotter pin | R clip |
|---|---|---|
| Fitting | Insert through the cross hole in a pin or shaft | Push the clip through the hole so the loop seats against the surface |
| Securing | Spread the two legs apart to lock the pin in place | Spring form holds the clip in the hole under tension |
| Removal | Close the legs and push out | Pull the clip free; it can be reused |
| Reuse | Limited reuse — spreading and closing work-hardens the legs | Good reusable option for parts serviced often |
| Typical role | One-time or infrequent locking of clevis pins, shafts and castellated nuts | Repeated retention of hitch pins, shaft pins and removable hardware |
The image states the purpose directly: designed to help secure pins, shafts and fasteners against accidental loosening or sliding. It does not state a load rating, so no strength figure is claimed.

FAQ
Q1. How many pieces and sizes are in this set?
458 pieces in 10 sizes: this cotter pin assortment kit holds 270 split cotter pins across 4 sizes and 188 R clips across 6 sizes.
Q2. Is the material really 304 stainless steel?
Yes — the case label states 304 stainless steel. The 304 stainless steel cotter pins are supplied in natural silver. If your application needs a different grade, such as 316 for harsher chloride exposure, discuss it as a customization item.
Q3. What is the difference between a split cotter pin and an R clip?
A split cotter pin passes through a hole and its two legs are spread to lock a pin or shaft. The R clip assortment in this kit uses spring-form clips that push into a hole and can be pulled out and reused, which suits parts that are serviced often.
Q4. Can an R clip replace a cotter pin?
For frequently removed hardware, an R clip is usually more convenient. For joints that should not be opened in service, a spread cotter pin gives a more permanent lock. The image does not provide load ratings, so selection should follow the equipment maker's specification.
Q5. Are these pins reusable?
R clips are reusable. Split cotter pins are normally replaced after removal, because repeated spreading and closing work-hardens the legs and reduces their grip.
Q6. Is this set in stock?
Yes, ready stock is available for the standard configuration. Quantity and dispatch time are confirmed at order stage.
Q7. Can I change the size mix inside the box?
Yes. Custom quantity assortments are offered, so the size list, piece count per size and the cotter-pin-to-R-clip ratio can be adjusted to your market.
Q8. Can the box, label and logo be customized?
Yes. Box style and color, label design, logo, barcode placement and color card options are all available under OEM and ODM programs.
Q9. Can the case hold a different total, such as 300 or 600 pieces?
The assortment total can be redefined as a custom program. Provide the target total and the size distribution, and the compartment layout is reviewed accordingly.
Q10. What is the net weight and carton data?
315 g per box, 24 boxes per carton, carton size 28 × 25 × 25 cm. Gross weight and pallet data are not stated in the images.
Q11. Is the case suitable for retail display?
The case is a clear divided box with a visible label area, and retail-ready packaging is offered as a customization option.
Q12. Are there certifications for this product?
No certification mark is visible on the images. If your market requires specific test reports or declarations, raise the requirement at quotation stage.
Q13. Is the product suitable for children?
No. The label states it is not suitable for children under 6 years due to small parts.
Q14. What should I check before ordering a custom mix?
Confirm the size list, quantity per size, total piece count, material grade, label language, barcode, box style and carton marking.
