Full details
Designed for students, teachers, office managers, and home organizers, the Q-Connect Drawing Pins provide a dependable solution for mounting notices, posters, and lightweight displays. These pins are highly valued for their sturdy construction and high-volume supply, making them an essential utility for high-traffic noticeboards; however, users should be aware that the sharp steel points require careful handling and are not suitable for use on soft, crumbly surfaces like some types of insulation or low-density foam.

FAQs
Are these pins reusable?
Yes, provided the steel pin has not been bent during removal, they can be used repeatedly.
Can I use these on drywall?
No, these are designed for soft materials like cork noticeboards and will not penetrate solid walls.
How many pins come in the package?
The set contains 10 individual packs, with 120 pins per pack, for a total of 1200 pins.
Are the pins rust-resistant?
While the steel is durable, they should be stored in a dry environment to prevent surface oxidation over long periods.
What is the primary material of the head?
The head is made of durable, solid white plastic.
Are these safe for children?
These contain sharp points and should be kept out of reach of young children.
Troubleshooting
Pin is difficult to insert into the board.
Ensure the board is made of a soft material like cork or felt; do not attempt to push pins into wood or hard plaster.
The steel pin becomes loose from the plastic head.
This is typically caused by excessive force or impact. Avoid hitting the pin with tools; only use manual pressure.
Pin bends during insertion.
Check if you are hitting a hard object behind the board (like a wall frame or metal stud) and select a different location.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure that the surface being used is compatible with drawing pins, such as cork or soft acoustic boards. To insert, grip the white plastic head firmly and push straight into the material; avoid tilting the pin during insertion to prevent the shaft from bending. To maintain the integrity of your display boards, pull pins out straight rather than rocking them side-to-side, which can widen the holes in the board over time. Store the unused pins in their original plastic packaging to keep them together and reduce the risk of scattered pins on floors or work surfaces.
