I didn't know there were different types, now I'm intrigued.

HI, I bought the cheap ones from the Dollar Store and hated them. They would come apart, twist, catch and pull fabric. I gave them to a pre-k teacher for arts and crafts. I don't know the brand but bought good ones from a Mennonite store in Pa. called Goods. They were just a few dollars but were larger, stronger, didn't twist or fall apart. Also try looking online at Vermont Country Store, they sell the slotted pins that never fall apart. Good luck.

I would try Lowes..think that's where I found mine..but they do make wooden *Heavy Duty* they last forever but are hard to find. I have the slotted ones also but I just don't care for them..they cause sone fabrics to stretch where the peg is placed.

Thanks for input....

Yes George there are different types and various qualities...

I'm not a fan of the slotted pins.

I'm looking for a quality / heavy duty spring type.

Anyone else ?

I ordered from Amazon the "honey can do" brand. They are wooden with a spring. I ordered 2 packs of 50. In the approximately three years I've had them, probably 5 or so have broken, which I think is pretty good, considering I line dry about every other day. I previously had the all plastic kind and within a year they were almost all broken.

Love those but the price is outrageous! I buy a really heavy duty type clothes pin at Walmart. They are plastic and come in two shades of blue. They stand up to heavy garments and wind well and the price allows me to change them out every couple of years.

These are what I use.

I did not buy them on Amazon, however. I bought them while visiting family in Malaysia.

Donna-37 - I have those blue plastic ones, too, and cannot remember if I got them at WalMart or Target. Mine are med/dark blue, light blue, and white.

I also have some ancient wooden clothespins that are slowly disappearing . . . probably because I also use them to close bags of frozen veggies when I put them back into the freezer.

Here are the old fashioned ones. I might buy some of these just for the fun of it.

Those look like very nice clothespins, George. Thanks for posting that type.

Thanks George and all for posting.

Kevins pins do look nice. I love the fact they're american made. But as others have said they are expensive. Not sure if I'm going with them or not. Hoping to find another type that is quality at a better price.
