Well, sorry if this is in the wrong spot first off. I went to a couple farm supply stores tonight because I wanted some new clevis pins, don't know why, just felt like it I guess. Anyway, I'm used to my 7/8 screw in type pin, which I've been told by numerous people is the only way to go for safety reasons so you don't end up with a 5 lb bullet hurling towards yourself or a loved one. To my surprise and frustration, one store only carried a cotter pin clevis and the other only had 3/4 threaded clevis'.
Have standards changed and cotter pins are more widely accepted and safer than they used to be or are companies just cutting costs. Am I simply overreacting about cotter pin clevis' not being safe? The pins just seemed so cheap and flimsy which is what worries me...
How 'bout it guys? What are your thoughts? What are you using?
