Good build quality, fits fasteners

I used these pins to align the bedposts for the loft bed. Build quality was high and pins were made to a consistent (and accurate) size. All four pins fit perfectly in my 3/8" holes (tight, no play).

Pros
  • FEATURES/SPECIFICATIONS: Precision ground to 0.0001 - 0.0005 tolerance range of diameter accuracy; 3/8 DIA, 3 long
Cons
  • I will add later

Exactly what I expected.

I have already rated this product. I used this item before it was exactly as expected. I ordered from Revain as I only needed a small quantity. Industrial sources are more expensive and only sell in large quantities. They also charge for shipping.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

The poles are a bit oversized and only beveled on one end

These poles all seem to be the same size so they fit together. My problem is that the bars are a bit big. You cannot install these rods in a 3/8" ID bearing. Also, the rods are only chamfered on one end. It would be nice to have chamfers on both sides.

Pros
  • nice touch
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Mosquito lash exact diameter

Exactly what I need and sharpened very precisely to .250 inch. My micrometer could be off by about three tenths of a thousandth, but that's a tenth the thickness of a piece of paper, so they got it right. They are excellent for CNC edge measurement as well as other tight tolerance dowel applications. I cannot confirm their durability as I use them in low wear applications. But for me and for the price they are great.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Non automatic
