Aluminum Head Push Pins, Steel 5/8" Point, Silver, 100 per Box [Set of 2]

Sturdy. Especially when you have to hammer it into real hard wood

Good quality. Just what I ordered. Took a couple weeks to arrive from this seller.

These are sturdy and work well for blocking needlework. That involves pounding these into plywood. Lost a star because box is flimsy. The pins were loose in shipping box.

Sturdy and strong and NOT PLASTIC!

I hang photos and artwork on my walls with pushpins. I had to look for a stronger alternative when my plastic pushpins started breaking when I hung heavy artworks on them. I know what you are thinking- why not use a nail and a hammer? That would be logical for you to think that. But what if the pushpins are closer to me than the nails and hammer? Yes, I am lazy! So here is the solution for me and you: an indestructible pushpin! These won't break on you, ever. I haven't broken a single one. The sharp pin part is longer than a plastic pushpins, so they can be pushed into wood and the mortar between bricks too. You may need a hammer or use that heavy wooden candleholder like I did.

So small are the heads there's almost nothing to grab onto to remove them without getting pliers. Worse, you can't hang anything from them without it likely sliding off. Tricky stuff! All looks, no good.

I use these to pin canvas in place while stretching, before stapling. The aluminum heads detach from the pin very easily so I end up breaking several in the process. Still sturdier than plastic push pins, but not by much.

I love these metal thumbtacks! The push pins are stronger and longer than plastic varieties. Can be hammered in lightly. Hold a fair amount of weight. I have been using them for decades.
