A cotter pin can be reused if it is not damaged, bent, or corroded. However, it's generally recommended to use a new cotter pin for critical applications to ensure safety and reliability. If the cotter pin shows any signs of wear or deformation, it should be replaced to prevent failure. Always assess its condition before reusing.
It is a cotter key or cotter pin (not carter). In the United States, cotter pin (also known as a cotter key[1] or a split pin) is a metal fastener with two tines that are bent during installation, similar to a staple or rivet. Typically made of wire with a half-circular cross section, cotter pins come in multiple sizes and types.
