The great local hardware store that I've always bought my hardware from see=
ms to be selling cotter pins that are of pretty poor quality.  They're awfu=
lly brittle.  Weak.  Ineffectual.

I can run over to our local Fastenal, but what are the chances theirs will =
be any better?

Fastenal sells cotter pins in steel, zinc coated steel, monel, and stainles=
s.  Any recommendations about what is most appropriate?  I'll shy away from=
 stainless as it's usually a little soft.  And I know nothing at all about =
monel.
