I went to Orchard supply for a small bag of 1/16"x1/2" cotter pins. not stainless!!! Orchard Supply is a moderate sized hardware chain store owned by Sears in Northern California. I expected to pay $1.29-$1.99 for a bag of 20-25. It cost $0.79 per two pins. that is so totally insane. Please Mr. Obama may i have some more. gripes my buns!!!!!
