What these clips do
Midwest Fastener 60608 hitch pin clips are R-shaped spring wire fasteners that lock round shafts such as axles and clevis pins in place. The pack contains eight pieces for securing trailer couplers, farm implements or general shop hardware.
Critical fit detail
Each clip is formed from 1/4 inch diameter zinc-plated steel wire with an overall length of 4-3/8 inches. The wire diameter and loop geometry must match the hole in your pin or shaft, so verify that measurement before ordering.
Installation notes
Slide the straight leg through the pin hole, then flip the curved leg over the shaft end; spring tension holds it without tools. The clip can deform if forced into an undersized hole or pried off repeatedly, so use the correct size and replace any clip that loses its spring.

Questions about this item
How does the 1/4" x 4-3/8" size translate when securing a clevis pin on a trailer hitch?
The clip spans a 1/4 inch pin diameter and reaches 4-3/8 inches overall, so it locks the pin through the hitch receiver without protruding excessively.
What does the zinc-plated steel construction mean for corrosion resistance in road-salt conditions?
Zinc plating provides a sacrificial layer that slows rust on the hardened wire, extending service life in winter road-salt exposure.
What clearance is needed around the pin hole for the R-shaped clip to rotate and lock?
The spring wire requires enough radial space for the loop to swing past the pin shaft; a few millimetres of side clearance is typical.
