ADVANTUS Gem 1.5-Inch T-Pins, 100 per Box (87T)

Like other reviewers I purchased these pins to use for blocking wool projects. They work perfectly. They are smooth so the wool does not catch and strong enough to push into my blocking board. The T_head makes them easy to grasp to remove. I have also used them to pin pieces together while I'm joining them. They work fairly good but because they are so smooth they do fall out easily, but that is not really what they're for. I'm happy with this purchase. So far no sign of any rust and I really don't expect to see any.

I bought these off Amazon (in conjunction with exercise mats to double as blocking boards) for the sole purpose of blocking a scarf I had just completed, and they did their job beautifully. They didn't rust, they stayed in place, and they were the perfect size for my uses. 100 is more than anyone would ever need, and I gave two dozen ish to my little sister so she could use them for her sewing.My only complaint is that the box that they came in is a little flimsy, but otherwise everything was great.

They are simple steel "T" pins. They work. How much else can one write in a review about pins. I am really taken at how shiny the Chrome finish on them is... that is a major selling feature for me..... oooouhh...They're pointy on one end and not pointy at the other. if you push the pointy end into something it goes into it. So I guess you could say it does the job, if you get the point.

Good, reliable product.

As far as T-pins go, these pins are like most others I've seen on the market. They're sharp, well made, and provide the needed service, as expected.What I didn't expect, was to find the outer packing box to be halfway opened, and the inner box taped shut with 4 pins missing.I know, I know. It's really a petty thing. But, when you are sold a certain number of items and some are missing, it can get under your skin.I'm sure my world won't end over 4 missing T-pins, but when it's late at night, and I'm trying to block out a knitted lace shawl that took me a year or more to knit, and it's a gift for a very special person, and I need 4 T-pins to finish blocking the last side or the shawl will look like one spot is crumpled, what do you think I'll be muttering under my breath about the company that shorted me those pins? It may not be pleasant.....So, that's why I'm only rating this as 4 stars instead of 5. If you say 100 T-pins are enclosed, then please don't only send 96 pins.

The pins are just as described. They are longer than regular thumb tacks and sturdy. I used them to hang calendars, pictures, and holiday lights in my cubicle. Delightful!

When I started my job at Cubeville, I was used to the luxury of my cork bulletin board, and its perfect mate, the thumbtack. I brought along a collection of fine thumbtacks to Cubeville, looking to make a home of my cube. But cubes aren't made of cork, they're made of taut, hollow, beige fabric. Unlike cork, fabric panels are not particularly fond of thumbtacks. One at each corner of a sheet of paper would hold it up, but only until a sneeze - and it is flu season. T-pins are the solution, far more amicable toward cube fabric. The two together are capable of holding many a sheet with ease, no longer susceptible to the breeze of a sneeze.

I was panicking having to conduct training in a room that is heavily padded and the usual push pins will not stay. I am now the proud owner of a locally "rare" pin that works well as it was long enough to hold onto the fabric panel. I gave some of them away and the recipients were delighted. I have bought some more to give away.How I wish shipping charges to Asia can be cheaper!
