I probably won't use this for typical pin functions. I use it on my weightlifting power rack in 1" tape mount holes and it fits perfectly. I've used up to 200 pounds of drag on the hinge portion of the pen and it's held up well with repeated use. This can also be a good tractor hitch pin. It's definitely a better quality than other pins I've used on a tractor and will probably buy a few more for it.
