Officepal 2.76 inches Heavy Duty Safety Pins in a Box Container, Large, Extra Strong Steel Metal Spring Lock Pin Fasteners for Quilting, Blankets, Crafts, Clothing, Upholstery (30 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.

These are sturdy. I use them as locks for a bird cage. These are large enough for my clumsy fingers and not difficult to open and close. Better than safety pins that warp. They haven't rusted either.

I purchased these as blanket pins for my wool blanket, while camping. They're great and look cool too.

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.

I really like these safety pins. They're large, strong, and durable.

These did the trick for what I wanted which was to pin towels around my outdoor cushions. My only negative is they are not very sharp so it was difficult to get them through the towels.

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?!
