MudderLocking Pin Keepers Backs, No Tool Required (Silver, 30 Pieces)

These things are amazing! I had a LOT of pins from my job and we wore them in our hats and the standard backing, not only can they sometimes hurt you but they can break or strip easily and even be difficult to use just to pinch the little things to get it off the pin. These backings, they don’t come off unless you take them off intentionally. I still have mine several years later with the tin of extras because they last so long 😂🥰 Definitely worth the cost if you have a lot of pins to wear.

I didn't need 30 of these, but they were exactly what my daughter needed to securely hold her pins on her varsity jacket. The backs that come with varsity pins loosen easily resulting in pins falling off and getting lost. After this happened to my daughter a couple of times, I searched on Amazon and found Mudder Locking Pin Keepers Backs, No Tool Required (Silver, 30 Pieces). I'm thinking it might be a great idea for a team or sports booster club at a high school to purchase this product to hand out to athletes when pins are awarded to use in place of the backs that come with the pins.

The Mudder locking pin backs are high quality and work great. No worrying about your favorite collectible pins falling off and getting lost. I use the pin backs on my collection of Disney pins that I decorate my jean jackets with. The pin backs connect to the pins easily and stay in place. It takes time to learn how to remove the backs, but with a little practice it will become easy. Push down on the flat part of the pin back, and squeeze the raised part and then pull up on it. The metal storage case that is included makes it easy and convenient to store unused pin backs, as well as the plastic pin backs that come with Disney pins.

My daughter started using these and she no longer loses her pins. They stay put on her backpack and lanyard.

Bought these to keep my Disney Pin collection safe for my trip. A few didn’t work but it was only a couple so not a big deal. They are pretty easy to use and remove without me worrying they will pop right off. They are of course small so some may have a hard time removing or fastening them but it isn’t impossible. Maybe making them have a texture would help grip.

But as for my purposes, that lack of ease is a bonus! I had to get them in the first place because my enamel pins kept losing their backs and would detach from my ThinkGeek Bag of Holding, ending up lost forever while out and about. No longer do I have to worry! I can now continue to adorn my bag with beautiful and funny enamel pins without fear of losing them. Each one has a story as I usually get them from events or non-standard sources (i.e. I don't generally buy generic ones from regular stores.) and so it's rather painful to lose them because of an insecure backing. My friend lost a 'Disco Deadpool' pin about a month ago and he's a Deadpool mega-fan. Wouldn't have happened if he was using these! So these definitely get my recommendation for enamel pins you don't want to lose and are intended to not be removed any time soon.

They are a little large but they hold better then the cheap rubber backings or even the metal butterfly clutch. The butterfly clutches have a smaller length so they don't protrude as much, but aren't as strong. One of these backings was able to hold up my 35 pound bookbag by the pin, so they aren't coming off by accident any time soon.

I'm sorta hard on my purse, so when I found these dangerous animals pins, I had to find a way to keep them on. I almost tried the allen wrench ones, but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to reach it inside the small pocket! Worked so good the pin broke before the back gave out. Highly recommend!!
