Pen + Gear Push Pin, Clear, 200 Count

Apartment rules state that I can't use nails any larger than necessary and I also needed something to temporarily display some small pictures for a double funeral in the near future. These work for hanging posters, pictures without frames, notes for myself for things like doctor appointments, grocery lists, and house supply lists. I can use my wall as a cork board so to speak without breaking the rules or cluttering my refrigerator door. I can keep a list for each room and add to it as needed. Bathroom and kitchen supplies are listed as things run low so I don't forget anything. I order supplies once a month and I don't have to take an inventory as these pins hold a small writing pad with a hole at the top just fine. I use a wheelchair so keeping things organized and at the ready is a huge priority for me and so is saving time and energy. I have surgery on my spine every 6 months so the lists also help when I can't drive to the store and anyone who might help me out during recovery just needs to gather the lists and pick up anything that isn't deliverable. These pins have become my 3rd hand in every room so far. I even have plans to use them in my closets to hang small items to save shelf space. I can see these working as hooks for my belts that I wear with my dress pants when going out and as bra holders to save space in my small closet. I am a biological woman and can see where these might come in handy for hanging ties on the wall inside a small close for a man. The use for these is endless for lightweight and small items. Nothing that a quart or gallon sized ziplock bag with a hole at the top and a push pin can't handle in my closets.

They are just standard clear push pins, but they feel sturdy and the points are nice and sharp, so they go into the wall or corkboard without much effort. I really like that they come in a little plastic clamshell case and it keeps them all in one place so I don't have to worry about them rolling around. The clear heads are a nice touch too since they don't distract from what I'm pinning up. Good price for a 100-pack, definitely no complaints
