Review on 🔩 Yohii Dowel Beveled Bamboo Fasteners: Premium Woodworking Pins for Precision by Aaron Ward

I found an Ikea Expedit for free on a dumpster in my town. I collect records and have 4 other Expedit shelves so I attacked them. There was a sign saying "just need screws and anchors" and with enough on hand I figured no problem. At first I wanted to cut my own dowel pins since I couldn't find them at my local hardware store, but I decided to look online as I found replacement screws fairly easily. 6mm x 60mm (and metric sizes in general) has proven a bit harder to come by and I tend to think it's just because I'm in the US. Anyway, I found this product and saw another review saying they bought it for the same reason. The backstory is over. Here is my actual review. The pins are strong and strong, but I'm not sure they consistently mill down to 6mm. For what I built I had to go through 10-20 dowels in each hole to find one that went in with relative ease. If I were working with them on wood I would no doubt drill 1/4" holes for them because the frustration of finding ones that are actually pure 6mm would be too great.
