Fine and flexible
I bought these to use for pinning my silk fabric while sewing. They are very fine and a nice length. They are gently flexible and don't link easily. Will certainly purchase again.

Get what you pay for
From someone whose worked in a museum pinning specimens, these pins are decent quality for high school collections or other similar uses. However, the tops of the pins seem to be made of a cheaper plastic material that I fear will wear down over time in a collection or with frequent handling. The pins are also longer than I'm used to, so make sure they fit in your case/box. Bottom line: not professional quality build that will last long term, but nor are they very expensive.

Product Worked as Described and Needed
Purchased these for my middle schooler's bug project last fall. These pins were thin enough to for the tiny bugs and strong enough for the larger bugs. They fit into the 2" x 2" x 2" clear favor boxes. My daughter did not have any complaints or issues using them.

Careful hands on these
These are fine, flimsy things, but they worked well in the project I used them for, and I'd buy them again if I didn't still have plenty left over. They're sturdy enough to hold a cicada or damselfly suspended, but thin enough to nearly disappear once they're in place.

Strong
I have used these to pin a cicada, a butterfly, and a dragonfly. These are super easy to get into the body of the insect and are Surprisingly strong for being the 00 size! I had a couple faulty pins (plastic tip was connecting a few) but most of them were fine

Used for my son’s science big project. Pins were a little long but, they worked well for all sizes of insects.

Good pins
As described. Good quality pins. The really thin 00-0 ones bends a bit but you just have to be careful.
