The pin is engineered to snap cleanly\nthe instant the auger or drive hits an overload, breaking before the far more\nexpensive gearbox, shaft, or motor can be damaged. In other words, it works\njust like an electrical fuse, giving way on purpose to save the rest.\nMeasuring five-sixteenths of an inch in diameter by two inches long, these\npins fit common two-stage two-stage snow blower augers. Each pin drops through\nthe auger and drive shaft and is held by a cotter pin or clip, keeping the\nauger driving normally until a jam or overload puts enough force on the pin to\nshear it and stop the drive. Made from steel with a protective zinc plating,\nthe pin is calibrated to shear at the intended load while resisting rust and\ncorrosion between uses. That matters for winter gear that sits through wet,\ncold, and salted conditions, because the pin needs to hold securely and then\nbreak at the right moment, storm after storm. Use these shear pins to keep a\nsnow blower running through the season, and for marine and small-engine drives\nthat rely on a shear pin. Always replace a sheared pin with the correct size,\nand keep spares with the machine. This eight-piece pack keeps plenty on hand\nfor winter equipment maintenance and quick driveway repairs. Note: pin\ndiameter varies by assortment; this listing is the 5\/16-inch size. From the\nManufacturer A shear pin is a safety device designed to shear in the case of a\nmechanical overload, preventing other, more-expensive parts from being\ndamaged. As a mechanical sacrificial part, it is analogous to an electric\nfuse. They are most commonly used in drive trains, such as a snow blower's\nauger or the propellers attached to marine engines.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003ePROTECTS YOUR MACHINE ON OVERLOAD: This shear pin is a sacrificial safety part that snaps cleanly when the auger or drive jams, breaking before the gearbox, shaft, or motor can be damaged, like an electrical fuse for a mechanical drive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eSIZED FOR SNOW BLOWER AUGERS: Measuring five-sixteenths of an inch in diameter by two inches long, the pin fits common two-stage snow blower augers, dropping through the auger and shaft and locking with a clip until an overload shears it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eZINC-PLATED STEEL: Made from steel with a protective zinc plating, the pin is calibrated to shear at the right load yet resists rust between storms, so it holds securely in cold, salted winter conditions until it is meant to give way.\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eSNOW BLOWER AND ENGINE REPAIR: Ideal for keeping a snow blower running through the season and for marine and small-engine drives that use a shear pin, a must-have sacrificial spare for winter equipment maintenance and quick driveway repairs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eTRUSTED HILLMAN QUALITY: Hillman supplies dependable pins, keys, and fastening hardware that homeowners, farmers, and pros rely on every day.
