I need some clips that fit on the ends of rods that look like:
Do they have a more common name than 'omega clips'? I can't find much if I search for that name.

It's kinda like an E clip but they're made from pressed sheet metal, not wire. So that's not correct.– CriggieJun 2 at 12:00

Omega clips is pretty much what they are called and googling it came up with this. https://www.bresco.com/acatalog/Omega-Clips.html

I see that Home Depot also calls them Hitch pins.
