Snapper Pin
Snapper Pins have many uses on equipment, trailers, couplers, pintles, etc. The quick connect and disconnect feature makes them easy to use. The double wire mechanism keeps it securely "locked" during use.

Hey guys, it's Randy here at etrailer. Today we're taking a look at the Redline Snapper pin. Now this pin is going to provide a really good solution for couplers, or like anything else where you've got a 1/4 inch-sized hole we need a pin to go through it with a catch on it.Now these are available in two sizes as you can see. This is the 2 3/8 inch usable length, so from here to here it's 2 3/8 of an inch. This is gonna be an inch and 3/4. Now regardless of the one you choose, it's got a nice heavy duty spring release on it there.
You can see it's squared off. This is gonna be ideal for anything that has more of a rectangular shape, like a coupler here. There are others that will have more of a rounded type spring keeper on them. Those are better suited for more of a rounded type application.Irregardless of the size you choose, we've got the yellow zinc finish, it's gonna completely coat it. That way corrosion and things like that you won't have to worry about for a real long time.Overall, the tension on the spring is nice.
It's not overly heavy where you have to put too much pressure on it, but it's also not so light that you'll be worried about it accidentally coming loose.Now this design of pins, gonna be a pretty basic style when it comes to coupler pins. There are other options we can kind of compare those for you. Basically, we have an option if you tend to lose these quite a bit, there's an option of one that has a chain connected to it. Then you can use a small bolt or a self-tapping screw to secure it to your coupler. So if you lose them often, that's probably a good idea.
That way it'll just hang there, you'll always have it.Also, if you want to secure our trailer to your truck, we have coupler pins available that have locks included. So then you can slide your pin through, lock that down, and ensure nobody can separate the two.Now as far as your installation process is gonna go, we want to get our square snapper kinda off of there. Just gonna open that up. Then we're able to slide our pin through. Once that's through, just gonna bring that over, capture it, and that'll prevent that from being removed.
And at that point, you're ready to head down the road and you can be sure your latch is gonna stay closed.And that's gonna complete our look at the Redline square snapper pins.
Ratings & Reviews
Perfect fit for replacement pin for Jeep tow on Demco hitch. Spring tension is great with secure latch.
Have received snapper pins and have installed them. They'll see salt water followed weekly, but will be followed by a freshwater rinse. Wish I could have found SS versions of these, but I could not. Product arrived in a few business days and in fine condition as have all of my other Etrailer purchases.
I had purchased two of these several years ago, but over time both have been lost. Now that winter is over, I needed more and was happy to see eTrailer still carries them. Tthe rounded top piece fits nicely around the rounded top of the hitch, so they don't flap around in the wind....just sit nicely keeping everything together.
I had a hard time finding this size, so I'm happy I finally did and now can finish my project.
Perfect Replacement for my Curt fifth wheel hitch
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.
It is what it says it is
Good quality and great price.
Fit great
Well built, high quality.
got there quickly and worked great
Simple, reliable, does what it should. A good value.
had trouble finding this type of pin in 1/4 inch till I came here. shipping was fast and so was the check out process. 5 STARS!!
These replaced my old slide-out shear pins. Still working great after one year.
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.
