Video Transcript for Redline Snapper Pin Review
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.

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.

Purchased as a spare for our pintle hook trailer hitch as we sometimes "misplace" the original pin. This looks well made and should do the job just fine. eTrailers has good service, and was able to tell me how they had shipped this to me (US mail) and confirm the address - my PO Box. Sure enough, it was in my mail box at the Post Office that very day.

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.

Snapper pins work great. I use them for fast set up on my Bimini top.

This was a perfect replacement for a Thule bike rack "missing pin"

Use them to hold the drawbar on to my ice fishing toboggan behind my 4 wheeler. Have worked great so far. Makes for removing drawbar quick and easy.

Product worked for my needs. Had been using a nut and bolt to keep my hitch locked. This is a much better solution!

I've had the hardest time finding snap clips like these. Not only did eTrailer have them in stock, they had several sizes. Excellent inventory!

See what our Experts say about this Redline Hitch Pins and Clips
- replacement Pin for an Old Thule Rac N Lock CarrierDo you have a way to measure the opening? For this purpose even a ruler would suffice in showing the diameter that would fit versus what would not. Pin # Y8780020 is a 3/8 inch diameter which is about as small as you are going to find for pins like this. Everything else is going to be 1/2 inch or larger. Outside of replacement bike rack parts we have snapper pin # 14-212TR which is a small 1/4 inch diameter. The same for # 14-238 and the longer # 37201211.

The pins are doing a great job for me. Im not using them for their intended purpose. I bought them to secure a removable shelf I have in my trailer. They hold the shelf in place very well and are easily removed when I want to remove the shelf to temporarily repurpose the trailer and the shelf would be in the way.
