Cotter pins commonly used to secure two items together through a drilled hole. To use, place the cotter pin in the pre-drilled and the bulbous head will stop the pin from moving all the way through. Then, bend the open tips in opposing directions to secure in place. Use stainless steel where corrorsion is and rust is of concern or in exterior applications. Best for general hardware use or where high strength is not required.
