I just received a order of the euro pins yesterday and love them. Never thought about buying some and have always used t pins. I mounted a Pike and SM today and they were so easy to insert.These things are super sharp and leave a very small hole. Anyone else use them? Tongue

Yep! I've been using the longer, black ones for years Randy. You'll find that the black plastic handles will break (about the last half-inch) if you crank on them a bit. But, it's no big deal, they are still fully functional. I like using them as you mentioned to go in easier. And I like pegging tails and longer parts of fins via running them down the leading and trailing edges of the fins/tail and peg them into the foam before carding. They're easy to get out too via a simple twist and pull with no pin heads falling off in your hand!!!
