Oh I will add, on a grapple, handling light iron 
no beating down skip or crushing things! Literally just pick and place.... Can't afford to bang the grab as it's very intense on the ram.

Looks like twist shear? Can the item rotate under load? It looks greased but I can't tell from the photos if the pin has been galling rather than twisting freely? If you are getting through them that quickly maybe a length of EN8 or slightly harder bright bar might give/bend a little more rather than shear like a hardened pin?70mm 2 days working use Topps.

Fixed pin, greased in all the right places and bolted into the grapple.

If it was new last month, I’d maybe have a word with the supplier, see if they’ve had anything like it back?...bad batch maybe?

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
exactly what I said to him earlier on FB PMs ... make a lot of pins out of 80 quidsworth of a 3 metre random BDMS length
my first reaction was impact fracture ... but he says not ...... it looks to have been 'overcooked'
... it'd be going back if it was mine, especially as it's done sod all .. apparently! started at the lower edge in the pic and spread around the circumference, 'fore the rest let go IMHDO .. effectively shattered

I will admit to knowing not a lot. But perhaps if the geometry is out slightly.

Was it a genuine Komatsu pin? Think I have one or two brand new genuine ones laying in the yard away on holiday at the moment though so can’t have a look till next Friday.
