OfficePal 4 inches Heavy Duty Safety Pins in a Box Container, Large, Extra Strong Steel Metal Spring Lock Pin Fasteners for Quilting, Blankets, Crafts, Clothing, Upholstery (20 Count)

I brought these to a conference to make sure that I was able to fit and secure my tablecloth and runners. Their large size makes it easy to put through tough materials and they don't bend like the normal pins. The size means that you need to hide them a bit more than the normal clips, but they work much better than gator clips and easier than duct tape for securing down a tablecloth. Material needs to be over-stretched since the size of the pin allows for the cloth to slip about 2 to 2.5," but once secured by these pins it isn't moving. Perfect for people that don't want to use the typical plastic/blend tablecloths and leave out the conventional tape, staples, or clips. Container can just be tossed in a bag and forgotten until need for use; well-sealed, stackable, and durable.

For years now, I have been safety pinning socks when I wash them & sometimes the little loop at the bottom catches on the socks. These do not seem to have that same issue. These are also easier to open than traditional safety pins and are a lot larger.They seem to hold up well in the wash, but I've only used each one 1-2 times so far. For now, I feel happy with the purchase and plan to get more. I will come back later & update the review if they disappoint.

Several reviewers complained that some of the points did not work well so as soon as I received these, I actually took each one of the 30 out and tested it. I am happy to report that the entire contents worked just as each one should. Perhaps quality control paid attention to the earlier reviews?!

I use wool dryer balls but in the winter there's so much static even when lowering the dryer temperature and drying time. I heard many people say to put safety pins in the balls, but I did think regular safety pins would work. I searched and found these. They were very easy to put in the dryer balls and close. None of the pins have snagged on anything or come open in the dryer, and what a difference in the static! I'm sure I will find some other uses, like holding on slip covers. The pins even came in a plastic case to store the extras. I would definitely recommend these.

Product exactly as described. Very sturdy, very handy. I bought them to secure sheets on our bed that kept getting loose at the corners and they are working very well. I am sure I will come up with other uses for them in the future.

Im like alot of the one star reviews here . The pin is too dull to go through the thin fabric and will make holes .I wished I read the reviews before I ordered. I usually read reviews but for some reason I did not . I would not have ordered . They are handsome pins but not much use !!!!

These pins came in the mail very fast. I love that they are in a protective box good and safe for storage. I plan to use them for crafts and will file down the points for the younger children. They open easily and close the same. They look like they will last a very long time even with heavy use.

Sorry but I wanted to like this because they were these huge safety pins that looked kind of fun!But.... I wanted to use these to pin my bed comforter securely at the bottom to keep it from sliding off the bed but they were so blunt these pins couldn’t penetrate even the bedsheet. I don’t know what these are used for because I can’t see it successfully going through any fabric or material; well maybe thin plastic? So I returned them.
