Reply to comment by Quail-a-lot in Anyone ever truly stainless steel wire pegs if so thoughts? Are there other pegs should conconsider? by Significant-Ad6946

Anyone compare the Pincinox pins Made in France with the pins sold in Canada by Lee Valley that are Made in Italy?

Unsure if the Pincinox are available in Canada but are so in the USA and at least for Canadians, the Pincinox pins are comparable in price maybe a tad more expensive at $24 USD vs $29 Cdn$ for a pkg. of 20

Anyone with any insight or able to compare the two?

FWIW for bulky items I have been using THESE from Lee Valley in combination with "normal" heavy duty wooden pins for regular laundry for about 20 years without issue along the coast of Nova Scotia on my 80 foot clothesline.

I've never seen the Pincinox on my side of Canada. I have found other metal clothespins at Winners and I got all excited since they are much cheaper than Lee Valley, but they also aren't nearly as good a clip. They are still at least better than the wooden ones from Crappy Tire, so it wasn't a total waste. I'll just add a pack of pins to each Lee Valley Valley order I do until I have enough for the whole line. I used to use their jumbo wooden ones and absolutely loved them, but didn't move them with me. Regrets! They don't sell those anymore. I hope the next house owner is still getting much joy from them. Admittedly, the metal ones are even nicer.
