Cotter pins to secure specific types of fastening systems into place. Because the pin's bulbous end prevents it from being dragged through the hole, it's critical to use pins with a diameter big than the hole diameter of the fastener you're working. After pushing the cotter pin through the hole, separate the two prongs on the opposite end and bend them outward to secure the pin. The most common application of cotter pins is to fasten clevis pins or castle nuts. Place the cotter pin in the hole the bulbous head will prevent it from going all the way through a bend, the open points to secure it. Depending on the use, different sizes and finishes are available.
