25-pack hitch pin clips
These zinc-plated steel clips secure round shafts such as axles and clevis pins in automotive and general hardware applications. The pack contains 25 pieces so a workshop or fleet has enough spares for repeated maintenance tasks. Each clip is formed from springy hardened wire in the classic R shape for positive retention.
Corrosion resistance and installation
Zinc plating protects the steel from rust during outdoor or under-vehicle exposure. The wire spring action lets the clip snap into place without tools and holds firm under vibration. No torque values or special procedures are required for normal use.
1/4" x 4-3/8" shaft fit
The clip dimensions match a quarter-inch diameter shaft with a usable length of four and three-eighths inches. Buyers needing a different pin diameter or longer reach will need a different clip size.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 1/4" x 4-3/8" hitch pin clip correctly?
Insert the straight leg through the clevis pin hole until the curved spring leg snaps over the pin end, ensuring the clip seats fully in the groove; the common mistake is leaving the spring leg resting beside the pin instead of locking over it.
When will the zinc-plated steel clips need replacement?
Replace any clip that shows white or red corrosion, permanent deformation of the spring leg, or loss of spring tension that lets the pin work loose during use.
What limits how long these clips hold under continuous vibration?
The spring temper of the hardened wire fatigues first; once the clip no longer exerts enough clamping force to keep the clevis pin seated, the connection can rattle free.
