Product Information
T Handle Ball Lock Pins are high-strength, quick-release alignment pins with a precision ground shank. These standard single-acting Ball Lock Pins are positive locking until released by pushing the button, which moves the center spindle forward to allow the locking balls to retract. The T-handle version shown here is one of four available handle styles. Made in USA. Available in pin diameters from 3/16 to 1" (5 to 20mm in metric), in alloy steel or stainless steel. Standard grip lengths for each diameter and material are listed in the tables below, most in stock for same-day shipment. Ball Lock Pins with special grip lengths up to 12” (300mm) and other special features can be quickly made to order.
