Cheap but not entirely cheerful.
I bought a pack of these to set sequins into polystyrene balls. They were cheap and the pack is a decent size especially for the price. I sew a lot and didn't want to use my more expensive pins as I would lose them.
The pins seemed good at first but I noticed that the fifth one didn't have a point, it just ended with a flat surface. I could use it in the polystyrene but would rip fabric if I'd have used it for sewing.
A few pins later and I found a bent pin which was more shocking to me than the blunt one.
I put all of the ones I couldn't use to one side and made a note of the blunt ones. I ended up with 6 bent pins, over 20 blunt pins and a needle. One of my friends who was watching asked if the factory floor had been swept and put in the box. It did seem odd that a needle got mixed in with pins.
All in all these are okay for decorating shapes but I won't be using these for sewing.

many dud pins
Bought these for a craft project (rather than sewing), there were a number of pins with blunt tips and a number with very small heads. Disappointed with the quality and will be spending a bit more next time to hopefully get better pins.

Poor quality
So many of the pins have no point at all, very frustrating. Would have been better off paying more for good quality pins

Overall the pins are good but there were a lot of blunt ones, I was quite sad as I bought them to work with satin.

Good Product
Generally good product. A few of the pins had a blunt point and were unusable.

Good quantity of pins for the price
I chose these over another brand in store as I required a larger quantity for a project. However I was a little disappointed by the quality, as quite a few of the pins did not have a point to them, so obviously couldn't be used to push through fabric. The remaining pins were all fine and useable.

These pins have been great. I bought some on eBay that was totally useless, plucked the fabric or wouldn't penetrate the fabric. I haven't had that problem with my new pins on cotton, silk, brocade etc. Very pleased with them.

Great value!!
this product has a great value and whilst most of the pins are great, however a few are blunt and do not work. However it is still a great value since the majority are ok!
