Need clevis pins that fit your application?

We manufacture standard clevis pins as well as custom pins made to your drawing. If the head, diameter or hole size needs to be different, tell us what you’re working on and we can discuss the specification.

Clevis pins are used where connected components need to rotate around the pin. They can be supplied with a hole for a cotter pin or R-clip, or a machined groove for a circlip.

A proud family moment for us at Bon Precision: Torque has shared the news that our son Thomas has joined the business.

Thomas is working with us part time alongside his engineering studies, getting to know the workshop and learning from the team. There’s plenty to take in, from reading drawings and understanding materials to seeing how a finished component is inspected.

We’re looking forward to watching his skills and confidence grow. Thanks to Torque for sharing his story.

Friday afternoon at Bon Precision: the machines are still running, the kettle’s working overtime, and somebody (John) has said, “I'll just get this job programmed... It’ll only take five minutes.” 👀

We all know how that one goes.

Have a great weekend from the Bon team! 🔧

What would you do if you came back from lunch to find an employee laying n**e, in the sun outside the business premises?

I would give him a written warning. But he can't read, and he is damn cute!

We've finally had a mezzanine floor installed in the workshop, giving us somewhere to keep all the bits and pieces that were slowly taking over downstairs.

Anyone who runs a workshop knows you can never have too much storage. Materials, tooling, packaging... it all has to live somewhere. Having the extra space will make day-to-day life a lot easier and keep the shop floor clearer for what it's meant for: making precision components.

Casper has already carried out his official inspection. So far he's approved the workmanship, but he's disappointed nobody thought to include a dog lift. He's not convinced the stairs are part of his job description.

Thanks to Cubex Contracts Ltd for the speedy work!

We're pleased to welcome our son, Thomas, to the family business. He'll be working with us part time, learning the ropes, while studying for his Engineering NVQ, with the aim of progressing into a full apprenticeship.

It's a great opportunity for him to learn the trade, (and brush up on his coffee making skills!) working alongside his Dad and getting hands-on with precision engineering from day one.

Welcome aboard, Thomas!

Great to spend time at MACH Show 2026 this week.

It’s always a valuable opportunity to get out of the day-to-day and see the latest advancements in manufacturing technology. As usual, there was plenty to take in and bring back to the business (and a huge shopping list of shiny things that would come in super useful at Bon HQ).

Equally important was the chance to catch up with customers, sharing a few drinks, having proper conversations, and strengthening those relationships that really matter.

We also spent time with some of our key suppliers, including Star Micronics GB CERATIZIT UK & IRELAND, and Sharmic, learning more about their latest innovations and how these can support our business with quality, efficiency, and precision.

Here's a photo of John looking terribly pleased with himself at the show...
