2.6
The snap-on spring pin is easily mounted and dismantled. It is therefore
particularly suitable for applications where the articulated connection
needs to be loosened often.

2.7

The pin with side mount ring can be fitted and dismantled without tools,
2.8

i.e. by hand.
2.9

The pin with safety clip requires a tool for dismantling (e.g. a screw
driver). It is therefore better secured.
