FAQs
Are these pins rust-proof?
They are made of brass-plated metal, which provides good corrosion resistance, but they should be kept dry to prevent potential tarnishing.
Can I use these on drywall?
They will penetrate drywall, but they are not designed to support heavy loads and may leave noticeable marks or fall out easily.
How many pins come in each small box?
Each of the 10 included boxes contains 100 pins.
Are the heads magnetic?
Brass itself is non-magnetic, though the pin shank is typically steel and may be slightly magnetic.
What is the total length of the pin?
The standard length is sufficient to pierce standard cardstock and secure it firmly into a half-inch thick notice board.
Troubleshooting
Pin is difficult to push into the board
Ensure the board surface is not made of high-density material; use a small mallet to gently tap the head if the surface is dense wood.
Pin keeps falling out
The hole in the board may have become too wide; move to an adjacent, undisturbed area of the board.
Tip of the pin is blunt
Discard the bent or blunt pin to prevent tearing your documents.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Large flat head for easy handling
- Highly durable brass construction
- Convenient 10-box storage system
- Sharp points minimize damage to paper
- Excellent value for high-volume use
Cons
- Not suitable for hard surfaces like brick or concrete
- Sharp points require careful handling
- Brass finish may tarnish if exposed to humidity over time
Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pins are designed for "push-to-install" compatibility with porous materials.
Best Surfaces:
- Cork boards and notice boards
- Softwood frames and bulletin boards
- Insulation foam boards
Care Instructions:
To ensure longevity, keep the pins stored in their designated boxes when not in use to prevent accidental injury and keep the points sharp. If a pin becomes bent, it is best to discard it rather than straightening it, as the structural integrity of the metal may be compromised. Always store in a dry, low-humidity environment to maintain the brass finish.
