FAQ

What is a bent pin?
A solid steel pin with one end bent at an angle to form a handle. The bent end makes it easy to grab, push in and pull out, and the hair pin clip through the cross hole keeps it from backing out.

How do I choose the right size?
Pick a diameter that fits snugly in your holes. Usable length is measured from the center of the cross hole to the inside of the bend, so choose a usable length at least as long as the full width of the parts being pinned.

Is the hair pin clip included?
Yes. Every bent pin comes with a hair pin clip sized for the pin.
