COTTER PIN, MISCELLANEOUS HARDWARE
Description: This looks like a beefy hairpin.
Buying information: Cotter pins are slipped through holes in rods and the like. Often used to hold a wheel on an axle, they are made of brass, copper, and plain or stainless steel.
How-to hints: To lock a cotter pin in place, just bend back the ends so that it can't slip back through the hole in the rod or axle. One leg of the pin is longer than the other to facilitate separation of the legs.
