Whether you're replacing a single split pin, replenishing workshop stock or purchasing a complete assortment, this collection brings together the official Champion Fasteners Split (Cotter) Pin range in one convenient location.

What Are Champion Split Pins & How Are They Used?

Champion refers to this product family as Split (Cotter) Pins, mechanical retaining fasteners designed to pass through a pre-drilled hole to help retain assembled components. The official range includes multiple size systems, materials & packaging options, allowing buyers to select products that match both equipment requirements & purchasing preferences.

The Champion Split Pin range includes:

► Metric Split Pins
► Imperial Split Pins
► Zinc Plated Steel Split Pins
► Selected Grade 304/A2 Stainless Steel Assortment Kits
► Selected Grade 316/A4 Stainless Steel Handy Packs
► Handy Packs
► Replacement Packs
► Bulk Packs
► Workshop Assortment Kits

Many customers ordering split pins also purchase complementary fastening products from our Nuts & Washers collection, making it easier to restock workshop consumables in one order.

Why Choose Champion Split Pins?

Champion Fasteners structures its Split (Cotter) Pin range around how workshops purchase fasteners rather than simply offering individual pack sizes.

► Need one replacement? Choose a Handy Pack.
► Maintaining an existing Champion kit? Choose a compatible Replacement Pack.
► Using the same size regularly? Bulk Packs help simplify stock management.
► Need multiple sizes? Assortment Kits provide organised access to commonly used split pins.

This flexible range helps workshops maintain consistent stock levels while reducing unnecessary duplication of inventory. If your maintenance work also requires additional retaining hardware, our Specialty Fasteners collection offers complementary fastening solutions.

Common Applications

Champion states that Split (Cotter) Pins are designed to securely lock parts commonly found in automotive & industrial fields.

Selecting the correct split pin starts by confirming the diameter, length, material & measurement system specified by the equipment manufacturer. Matching those requirements before ordering helps avoid delays & ensures the correct product is selected.

Trade workshops, maintenance departments, fleet servicing operations & industrial maintenance teams commonly keep a range of split pin sizes available to support scheduled servicing & minimise downtime.

Customers performing mechanical servicing often browse our Hand Tools For Auto Repair collection at the same time. For a practical look at workshop life, read A Day With An Automotive Mechanic Peninsula.

How to Choose the Right Champion Split Pin

Choosing the correct Champion Split Pin becomes much easier when you work through three simple decisions.

Choose the Right Pack Format

Confirm the Material

Champion manufactures zinc plated steel products together with selected stainless steel options. Always choose the material specified for the intended equipment or application.

Confirm the Measurement System

Champion manufactures both metric & imperial Split (Cotter) Pins. Confirming the correct measurement system before ordering helps avoid unnecessary returns or ordering delays.

As your workshop inventory grows, organising fasteners within Small Parts Organisers can improve efficiency. Before checking out, review our Same Day Dispatch information for current delivery services.

Understanding Champion Assortments & Pack Formats

One of the strengths of the official Champion range is its structured assortment system. Rather than producing one universal kit, Champion offers several assortment options designed around different workshop requirements.

The catalogue includes standard Split (Cotter) Pin Assortments, Metric & Imperial Assortments, Zinc Plated Steel Master Kits, selected stainless steel assortments & large steel split pin assortments. Many kits can also be maintained using compatible Replacement Packs, making long-term inventory management more practical.

For workshops expanding their fastening inventory, this structured range makes comparing options much easier while reducing unnecessary stock duplication.

Comparing Champion Split Pin Options

Choosing the right pack format depends on how your workshop purchases, stores & uses split pins rather than simply selecting the largest available kit.

Expert Tips

► Confirm the diameter, length & measurement system before ordering.
► Keep metric & imperial split pins stored separately.
► Use Replacement Packs to maintain existing Champion assortments.
► Bulk Packs can reduce repeat purchasing for frequently used sizes.
► Review workshop inventory regularly to identify fast-moving stock before it runs low.
