Product description

The Snap-On ST0020747 Split Pin-Latch is a essential retention fastener used to secure latching mechanisms and linkage rods in a wide variety of automotive shop equipment. This split pin, also known as a cotter pin, is designed to be inserted through a hole in a shaft or bolt and then bent to lock it in place, preventing the assembly from vibrating loose or detaching during use. Despite its simple appearance, this pin is manufactured from a high-grade spring steel or ductile alloy that allows it to be bent without snapping, yet provides sufficient tension to remain securely locked. It is commonly found in the foot pedal linkages, safety locks, and door latches of Snap-On tire changers and shop lifts. Regularly replacing these pins during routine maintenance is a key safety practice, as a missing or degraded pin can lead to mechanical failure or loss of control over a heavy machine component. This part ensures your equipment stays assembled and safe to operate.

Product highlights

• Secure Locking: Provides a dependable mechanical stop that prevents bolts and linkage pins from backing out during high-vibration operation.
