If you can get away with a simple "ring pin" then I have a whole load of
them with kind of bad plating that I'll give you... if you want them.

Years ago, I have seen a fastener that I cannot identify but would
like use on a project of mine. It looks like a pin about 1/4 to
3/8ths of an inch in diameter and about 2 to 3 inches long. There is
a small ball bearing on one end and a plunger on the other. When you
push the plunger, the ball bearing loosens up and and you can pull or
push the pin in. Can anybody identify this pin for me? Thanks

"Quick release pin"

Thanks for your quick response.

That is exactly what I was looking for. Wowee, they are expensive.
