Product Information

Full details

The Challenge Drawing Pins are designed for students, office professionals, and hobbyists who need a reliable way to mount paper materials to soft surfaces. These 10mm brass-plated pins offer a strong, reusable solution for securing sketches, tickets, and posters with ease. While they provide excellent holding power on cork and soft wood, they are not suitable for masonry or hard-surface walls, which is a common limitation for this type of fastener.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these pins magnetic?

No, these are traditional brass-plated steel drawing pins and will not attach to magnetic whiteboards.

Can these be used on drywall?

These are not recommended for drywall as they will not hold securely and may damage the surface.

What is the total length of the pin?

The pins are 10mm in size, which refers to the length of the metal shaft.

How many pins come in a box?

Each pack contains 100 individual drawing pins.

Will the brass plating peel off?

Under normal use conditions, the plating is designed to remain intact; however, excessive force or abrasive surfaces may cause minor wear over time.

Troubleshooting

Pin bends when inserting into hard cork

Apply pressure directly behind the head rather than the side of the pin, or pre-pierce the spot with a thinner needle.

Pin is difficult to remove from the board

Use a gentle wiggling motion while pulling to release the friction grip of the board material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use these pins, simply hold the solid brass head and push firmly into your mounting surface. Because these are 10mm in length, ensure the backing material of your board is at least 10mm thick to prevent the pin from protruding through the back of the board. To preserve the finish, store the pins in the provided clear case when not in use. Avoid using in high-moisture areas to prevent long-term tarnishing of the brass plating. If the pin becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a dry cloth; do not submerge in water or cleaning chemicals.
