Ordered these for students to use in displaying insects in foam board. Works great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great "invisible" pins to showcase my findings
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2020
I used these to mount outside finds to a shadowbox. These pins are great because they are nearly invisible from a little ways away. I didn't want pins that distracted from the arrangement itself, and these were perfect. They are pretty strong too. They are holding up the weight of a raccoon and possum skull, so I'd say they're pretty sturdy. My only complaint is that they are a little flimsy and bendy when you're trying to push them through, but that's to be expected since they're not supposed to be seen. Be careful when pushing the tiny little dots on the end with your finger.

I use these on my larger specimens and as the main pin (instead of wing pins), they work great for that purpose, good and sharp, haven't had any issues!

Got these for an entomology project my son is doing. They came fast and are perfect. The little plastic tube they come in is nice for storing them I appreciated that.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works But Pins Have Slight Burrs
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2023
Pins work as expected, however, they are not as long as I had imagined and hoped, and they have slight burrs on the ends. I don't know how they will work for butterflies, I'm sure just fine, but I actually purchased these specifically for sewing silk fabrics. Size 0 is perfect for silk, and the length is okay, but I wish they were longer. Pushing them through silk is how I discovered they have burrs. I'll still use them. I took off a star due to the burrs. The photos I took show the exact pin, size 0 and what 100 pins looks like packaged. I paid $6.79 for these, which I think is rather expensive for 100 pins.

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2024
I use this brand exclusively so I knew the pins would be good. They all showed up in every size so I'd say I'm pretty happy! They didn't have my size two 3 pack I get so I settled with this which was fine because I had some small insects to pin anyway

5.0 out of 5 stars Does what it says on the tin
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2021
I've had no problem with these pins, They are in a plastic tube with a lid that snaps on tightly to keep all your pins together. Being size #0 they are obviously pretty flemsy if bent, but I've not broken on and they are plenty sturdy when used properly to push into a proper medium like styrofoam or insect board. Perfectly fine product!
