Sometimes you will want to finish off your rigs and tie them to the correct length once you arrive at the venue, and the double pins are designed specifically for this, plus are useful if you are using longer hook links that need to be doubled up to fit on the foam boards. The tops of the pins are designed so that they are very easy to grip. Each packet contains 30 single pins.
