The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In British usage cotter pin has the same meaning, but in the U.S. it means a split pin.
- Typical applications are in fixing a crank to its crankshaft, as in a bicycle, and a piston rod to a crosshead, as in a steam engine.
- The angle of the wedge determines the position of the parts being held, therefore, on a bicycle, the pedal arms will only be at 180 degrees to each other if the angle of the cotter pin's wedge is the same on both pins.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Cotter article was read about 14,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 36 and blocks with 16: each hit it takes is cut by 6 %.
