Content
To help you choose the best pushpin, please consider the following: | |
magnetization | |
benefitsThe push pin with magnetized piston makes it easy to hold and insert the pins. | |
Disadvantages of a no deposit bonusThere are no drawbacks to a magnetized pushpin. | |
Not magnetizing | |
benefitsIt is better to use any pushpin than none at all, as you risk breaking delicate work or leaving hammer marks. | |
Disadvantages of a no deposit bonusTrying to hold on to small pins can be uncomfortable and may cause the pins to fall off. | |
Driver for nails | |
benefitsThe nail puller is especially handy for working with moldings and trim, but also works anywhere a push pin is needed. It can be used with pin lengths from 15.87mm (5/8") to 38mm (1 1/2"). The nail puller is magnetized. | |
Disadvantages of a no deposit bonusYou will need a different nail puller for pins of different lengths and diameters. | |
pin pusher | |
benefitsThe pin pusher is designed for fine work with model boats, dollhouses and model railroads. The pin pusher is used with 7 mm (0.27 in.), 10 mm (0.39 in.) and 12 mm (0.47 in.) long pins. | |
Disadvantages of a no deposit bonusThe pin pusher holds pins with a maximum head diameter of 1.5 mm (0.05 inch) and cannot be used with other pin sizes. The pin pusher is not magnetised. | |
V-nailer | |
benefitsThe V-shaped nail gun is designed to work with photo frames. Can be used with rods as well as V-nails up to 7 mm (0.27 in) long. V-shaped nailer is magnetized. | |

Price | |
Cost doesn't really matter, as pushpins are inexpensive. However, when you pay more, you usually get a higher quality tool. |
