A split pin is a type of cotter pin.

• Cotter pin is the general category.
• Split pin is the most common style, featuring two tines that are bent apart after insertion.

So all split pins are cotter pins, but not all cotter pins are split pins.

The three common types of cotter pins are:

• Split cotter pins

   

• Spring cotter pins

   

• Brass cotter pins

1. After inserting the cotter pin:

   • Spread the two legs apart in opposite directions using pliers.

      

   • Bend them securely around the bolt or shaft so the pin cannot fall out.

Use pliers to bend each leg outward after inserting the pin.
Bend one leg upward and the other downward or both outward depending on application. This locks the pin securely.
