Randy: Hey, Guys. It's Randy here at etrailer.com. Today we're taking a look at the Redline coupler pins. These pins are gonna be a really good solution. They come in several sizes for all different sizes of couplers, so we can keep that latch down and engaged, but also the 3/8-inch variety and the 2-1/2 inch length makes a great replacement for drop leg or caster wheel pins that we might've lost.This is our 1-3/4 usable portion pin. It's gonna be available in the 1/4-inch or the 5/16-inch pin diameter.
For the larger one, like what we have here, with the 2-1/2 inches of usable space, it's available in the 1/4, 5/16, and the 3/8.I really like this design. I think the longer end here helps us get a little bit more purchase on it when we wanna pull it off. And I also like the tension that's on the spring. It's got a good amount to it. It's not so tough that you can't get it off, but it's also not so flimsy that you think it'll just fall off as we head down the road.It comes through, very positive click there.
It's gonna be nice and secure. I also think this is gonna be one that's gonna last for a very long time, just like most of the coupler pins out there. These don't get a whole lot of wear to them, but we do have that white zinc finish, so as moisture and stuff, the road grime, gets on it, corrosion's not gonna be an issue for us.I think this pin's gonna work out, as you can see, several different applications. The 2-1/2-inch and the 1-3/4 length are gonna be pretty common. When we compare these to other pin and clips out there, I like the way these work.
I like the way they feel. That spring mechanism to release it is nice and strong.As far as other options that you might have, some of these are equipped with chains already connected to them. That chain, you could bring down and connect to your coupler, using maybe a self-tapper screw or a little nut and bolt. Now, that type of pin and clip I think will come in handy if you have a habit of losing them often. People misplace them, leave them up here, they fall off.
If you do that often, grab one with a chain. It's probably a better option.Additionally, if you want more security, if you'd like to have a lock also, we have several available on our website in all the different popular sizes. Basically, you'll just slide your pin through so it keeps your coupler locked, but then you'll have a lock that'll slide on the end, ensuring nobody can separate the trailer from the truck.And of course, regardless of the size that you choose, installation's gonna be really straight forward. We just need to pull out on the keeper. It's got a little bit of a spring effect to it that'll allow us to open it up. We can slide it through our coupler. Once we get that through, we're gonna keep her down on the other side. You can see that holds it in place there really nicely. This is a perfect fit for this style coupler. If you want a little bit more slack, I'd go up to the 2-1/2 at that point.And that'll complete our look at the Redline coupler pins.
Ratings & Reviews
This is a great small size safety snapper pin. I have it attached via chain to your Husky 2" hitch coupler (HT 87074). It is the perfect answer for a safety pin that insures your coupler stays locked. I am highly satisfied with both products and would recommend either to anyone. (See Picture)
The pins were the exact size that I needed, and the light after installing, plug and play was shining bright, just what I needed it to do, now we'll just have to wait and see how long it stays that way
works perfectly for both my boat and enclosed trailer hitch. It came quickly and a good price.
This is a perfect replacement for the snapper pin that disappeared for locking my fifth wheel hitch. The tab makes it SO much easier to fasten and unfasten when reaching over the side rail of my truck. I don't know why more places do not carry these pins!
Been buying from Etrailer for a long time for
Glennssmokers!
I am using 4 of the wire lock Snapper pins to attach a shelf I built to span the front of my trailer using etrack and the wood beam brackets. Using these pins makes the shelf mounting very solid yet completely removable in a matter of a minute or so.
While this is something these pins were not intended for, they appear to have been custom made for the job.
Excellent quality
Well made and works like I expected it to.
Just what we needed and at a great price. Delivery was very prompt as well.
Took awhile to get them but there good . Worth the wait.
Very easy to use, never comes off
The snapper quality exceeded my expectations. They're much better than ones I haf previously purchased elsewhere.
Just what I needed. Glad the lens came with screws as one came up missing. The clips are fine. The lanyard must be product specific as there is no loop to attach it with.
Looks great. Perfect fit. Happy with the product & the service.
Fair price for a quality product.
perfect tension to keep the pin locked.
Fast shipping, and good consistent prod uct.
The snapper Pins I received was just what I wanted. Great quality and works great. They came in a timely way.
I had to restock my Snapper Pins for the fleet I coordinate. I was able to buy all the sizes I needed. Great communication on the shipment and arrived in a reasonable amount of time.
Got these snapper pins to hold gate on trailer that i'm currently repainting and adding new life with these fresh accessories . Great product selection on great website. Thanks etrailer!
