Abstract
Disclosed are various exemplary embodiments of a lock for a ground engaging tool. The lock may include a head portion and a C-shaped skirt extending from the head portion. The skirt may define a lock slot for receiving a portion of a support member to be locked with the ground engaging tool. The skirt may also include an outer surface configured to be rotatably received in an inner surface of a retainer bushing. The outer surface may include a recessed portion that is configured to create a gap between a base surface of the recessed portion and the inner surface of the retainer bushing when the outer surface of the skirt is rotatably received in the inner surface of the retainer bushing.
