About Big Sky Precision
Some brands talk about American craftsmanship. Big Sky Precision lives it. Founded in 1993, Big Sky Precision is a veteran-owned manufacturing and engineering business that started in a 400-square-foot garage and has since grown into a 20,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Every product that leaves their shop in Manhattan, Montana is designed, machined, assembled, and tested right there on the floor — no outsourcing, ever.
Precision Engineering You Can Count On
As a world leader in custom quick-release pins, Big Sky Precision has the equipment and personnel to prototype and produce exceptional products with close tolerances, exact fits, and innovative designs. What sets them apart from mass-market fastener suppliers is direct access to the people building your parts. When you order from Big Sky Precision, you're talking to the engineers and machinists — not a call center.
Big Sky's focus is high-quality, machined, quick-release fasteners, and their success comes from listening to customers and providing the best value in the world. Their core mission is straightforward: manufacture the highest-quality quick-release fasteners, develop lasting relationships with customers and vendors, offer competitive pricing, and continuously improve their processes.
From Hitch Pins to Marine Hardware
Big Sky Precision's flagship consumer product line, PinUltimate, brings that precision-shop DNA to the towing and trailering world. PinUltimate quick-release hitch pins feature one-handed operation for fast, secure connections, and are American-made by Big Sky Precision in Manhattan, Montana. Available in heat-treated titanium and 17-4 stainless steel variants, these hitch pins are engineered for drivers who demand reliability and speed every time they hitch up.
On the water, Big Sky Precision is equally well-regarded. For over a decade, the company has developed and designed quick-release marine hardware, and their Phender Pro line is now offered by more than 50 boat builders across the United States, Australia, and Europe. The Phender Pro quick-release cleat and fender accessories are built from materials like 316 stainless steel and Delrin that are engineered to resist rust and corrosion in even the harshest saltwater environments.
A Legacy of Versatility
Big Sky Precision's quick-release expertise spans far beyond towing and boating. Hundreds of touring artists — including major acts in rock, pop, and beyond — use line-array speakers secured by Big Sky Precision's unique Sky-Loc™ quick-release pins. The company also works with both small RV and aviation manufacturers, as well as aeronautical giants. This breadth of application is a testament to just how seriously Big Sky Precision takes the science of the quick-release fastener.
Whether you need a hitch pin that handles a lifetime of trailering or marine hardware that laughs at saltwater and UV exposure, Big Sky Precision delivers the kind of quality that only comes from a small, focused team of American engineers and machinists who care deeply about every part they make.
