Hi there truck and trailer owners. Today, we're going to be taking a look at UWS's replacement nail head striker pin. Your striker pin is the component that engages your latch mechanism, as we go down here, you'll see it push the latch to the side and click, boom we're in place. So, since this is the component that the latch is holding onto to keep your lid shut, if the component becomes damaged, if you get too much rust and corrosion built up on it that where it snaps off, or if it just gets bent to where it's not engaged in the latch anymore, you may need to replace it in order to get your toolbox lid secure once again.The striker pin does not come with the nut, so you will have to provide your own, it's a quarter inch with a 20 thread. We're using a nylon locking nut to ensure our stays tightened down in its desired location. This pin will work with both locking and non-blocking latch assemblies.
I recommend if you are replacing this to determine if your bracket is going to be compatible with it, if not you can pick up a bracket from etrailer here, this one is from UWS as well. They do come separately, so if you only need one you can get just the part you need but if you're replacing your entire latch assembly you'll want to make sure you get a bracket as well to put it on too.And to help you determine the best location for installing a new assembly, the striker pin is going to have a one inch strike area, that's the smooth portion here, and the whole pin is about an inch and a half in length. So that way you can choose the appropriate depth on where you need to put the pin on the lid of your toolbox.And that completes our look at UWS's replacement nail head striker pin.
Great Product. Had picked up a new to me toolbox secondhand and one of the strikers was missing which made it a hassle to keep closed. Ordered new striker pins and arrived within 2 days. Now the toolbox latches correctly
I chose etrailer.com due to price. I received 2 brackets and 2 stiker pins including shipping for about the same price it would have cost me for "1 STRIKER PIN" alone on amazon. So I figured I would give etrailer.com a shot. It worked out great. My $[XX] toolbox is really coming together.
I was very happy to talk with you the other night. You were a life saver in finding the parts that I needed. I had been all over the past two days looking for these parts and people looked at me like I was stupid, I even showed them a picture of the parts and also showed them the part on there truck bed box that I was looking for and they still could not understand it. I did go back to two different places and gave them your web sight and they thanked me for giving them the info so they know where to look for parts that a customer needs, when they don't have it. Thank You

Perfect replacement for my UWS Toolbox
Shipping something this small concerned me; however, it was delivered in a decent-sized package, so it didn't get misplaced or lost.
I was unable to find this part for my toolbox and Etrailer made it super simple and easy to find. Thank you
Bought striker pin and bracket to replace missing parts on my Craftsman aluminum truck tool box CMXTBAD73019031. The bracket is shaped slightly differently so the bracket is offset some, however it feels solid and secure. Quick and easy repair. etrailer's price was 25% of what I was seeing elsewhere on the web. Shipping and customer service was also great. Thank you etrailer!
Great price fast shipping
These were just what we needed to fix our truck tool box! Super fast shipping! Great product and arrived several days ahead of schedule!
Perfect fit quick shipping
I do wish the product came with all the necessary hardware for a complete install but overall I am happy with it regardless.
Worked well for what I needed it to do.
Perfect fit. Easy to order and fast sh ipping
Very happy with order. Items are just as described, ordering was easy and shipping was on time.
Had bought a cheap secondhand Husky truck box. Was in great shape but missing one of the 2 latch pins. Found it here. Product delivered was exactly what I needed. Minus a single star b/c it would've been great to have matching nut & washers. But, I had ones that matched and there was no deceptive marketing or anything like that. Bought an extra as backup while I was at it.
This was the exact Kobalt tool box striker pin I needed. The only thing I needed was nuts, but I found those easily at any auto store. Great shipping and tracking process before shipment.
Got my product fast and just what I needed. Also love the follow up from the company to let me know when to expect my products and to make its what I needed as well!!! Will keep coming back for more products for sure.
Good why isn’t 2 mounting nuts included, pretty cheap short cut
Pin specifications match the original in all material ways. Fit fine and performed great.
