So I've been trying to figure out what the shear strength is for a 7/16" clevis pin. The pin that holds the winch hook to the rope.
Has any one ever broke one?
I just find it odd that these are not graded like bolts are. Only thing i could find for sure is that they are low carbon steel(from Fastenal), which might not even get it to grade 2, much less grade 8.
Maybe in a double shear application like this its not as important.
