Its nice to use it to install the pin rather than using the pin's nut to cinch it in. No loose cranks- right the first time. Also installed the grade A cotter pins he sells, filed for the Raleigh crank. Sweet!
The pin should be pressed fully before tightening the nut, it's there only to prevent the pin from coming loose.
