The Story
120 hairpin cotters across multiple sizes in one compact plastic drawer — the R-clip style that drops in without bending and pulls free just as fast when you need to disconnect. This assortment covers the sizes used on agricultural hitches, equipment linkages, and trailer pins, so the right clip is always within reach when a job calls for quick-release retention.
What's Included
- Hairpin cotter pins (R-clips) in multiple standard sizes — sized to fit a range of hitch pin and clevis pin diameters
- Multiple pieces per size — enough on hand to service equipment without hunting for a replacement mid-job
- Compact labeled plastic drawer — sized for a bench shelf, tool cart, or parts counter
- 120 pieces total

- General repair — anywhere a removable pin needs light retention and fast access without tools
About Hairpin Cotters
A hairpin cotter — also called an R-clip or hitch pin clip — is a spring-wire fastener shaped like an elongated R. The longer leg passes through a hole in the hitch pin or clevis pin, and the shorter leg springs back against the outside of the pin shaft, keeping the clip in place under normal handling and vibration.
The key difference from a standard cotter pin is that a hairpin cotter requires no bending after installation and no straightening before removal. You push it in, it clicks into place, and you pull it free when you need to disconnect — making it the right choice anywhere quick disassembly matters more than permanent retention.
For applications that need a more permanent, bent-leg lock — such as clevis pins on brake actuators or heavily loaded agricultural hitches — standard cotter pins are the better choice. For quick-release connections that get opened and closed regularly, hairpin cotters are faster and cause less wear on the pin.
