Question:
WHAT IS THE PRICE FOR THE SNAPPER PIN WITH BALL FOR SAFETY LOCK? The pin is stainless with small ball and has a ring on one end. I am looking for a small pin 5/16" dia x 1" lg with a spring loaded ball in one end and the opposite has a ring. The pin is used in the trailer hitch to keep the trailer hitch latched to the ball.

Sounds like you are looking for a snapper pin like the part # 516-214 for a yoke style coupler. This has a 5/16 inch diameter like you need and is long enough to fit the yoke style couplers like the picture I attached.
