A cotter pin, also referred to as a split pin or a cotter key, belongs to the category of metal fasteners, and features a pair of tines that are bent during their set up process, an aspect similar to a rivet or staple. They are predominantly used to affix other fasteners such as clevis pins. They seldom serve as low-tech shear pins in some applications. Generally fabricated from very soft metal to ensure their easy installation and removal, these pins; however are rendered feeble against strong shear forces due to the make.
