Giant Brass Cotter Pin

[Outlawmws]

From the link:

Have you ever seen a cotter pin that big?? It must have been 8 inches long.

And about 1/4" in Diameter... Where's the beef?

Lmao so short and fat is where its at?

That thing you posted is the size of a pencil. I'm not impressed.

 

[tbaggz]

Me either .it was something I found on the interweb.

I think I've finally found a use for it. It's gonna be the key fob for the vise museum

Then it will be impossible to lose

If you keep it in your pocket, you'd better become a Belt and suspenders man...

Well, if that's what rocks his boat...






















but I'd guess braces would be better for a bloke.

He could always pop the cotter pin through this and dangle it from something.

Thought I'd chuck a photo of that in this thread, with it being another brass/bronze quirky thing.

turbine in the center of picture.

I just nipped that generator pic off the net, that is actually a power plant in California.
The one I was working on looked identical. It was HUGE.

My dad worked in a rail car repair shop and brought a few cotter pins about that size home.

No way, if I have to wear any more **** on my person then I already do now, I won't be able to stand up.

I'll just keep the key clamped into my Craftsman 51XX series shrine. Just don't let Oldldh get any ideas. It gonna beboobytrapped just like in the movie with Indiana Jones

Here is the picture of the nut like I said.


So I'm not sure about brass but I have seen some that big and bigger at the Mill.

Looks like the sort of thing you see on big suspension bridges.
