Any One Know What This Is Called?
I would lose my head if it were not attached and before I lose these, I want to "stock up." Anyone know what these are called and where I could buy them. They are for my weight distribution system.

Oddly enough, a hitch pin. They are widely available at hardware stores.

Tie a cord on them and attach the cord to something on the bracket they go thru.

Do a scan for hitch pins on google. There is nothing pictured that resembles what I need nor could I find anything a local hardware store, but thanks. Amazon sells them and they are called Weight Distribution Replacement Pins.

You are more accurate.  That's what I used to call it when I had that kind of setup.

Bar code says it’s a weight distribution pin.
Bought 2 on this trip after I stopped and made an adjustment and forgot to pin the snap up.
Didn’t take me more than 2 miles to realize I forgot.
