Folkcraft® Hitch Pins, Black Oxide, Twenty-Five Pack

Used for hammered dulcimer build

I’ve only had strings on it for a couple days but so far the pins are doing what they’re supposed to and for the amount ajd the price the two orders I needed weren’t had.

Hitch pins

I have not installed these yet but they look like they will be what I wanted to hold the strings.

a little bit brittle

coincidentally the day i got the request for a review i pounded the hitchpins into the pinblocks. unfortunately one went in a little bit askew and when i tried to straighten, well, imagine my horror when it snapped off. i had to use a plug cutter on my pristine pin blocks, got the stub out and tried to glue in a plug. imagine my further frustration when the plug was too small and i had to quickly whittle one to fit. i was just going down to the shop to trim it flush and see how cruddy the repair looks. that was the only pin i had trouble with. the rest went in nice and even and it was easy to tell when they bottomed out. if i ever need them in the future, i would buy them again.
