Pins & Tacks

...

What are pin tacks?
'Pin tack' is another term to refer to push pins, or sometimes thumb tacks.

Are push pins and thumb tacks the same?
Push pins have plastic handles and are used to attach papers, photos, and other items to cork boards. Thumb tacks have a wider head and can be used on cork boards or harder surfaces, making them useful for putting up heavier items like calendars or banners.

What is the difference between a thumb tack and an upholstery tack?
Upholstery tacks are usually designed with a large head to offer a solid hold on vinyl, cloth, and other fabrics. Upholstery tacks have rounded heads that are decorative and can be nailed into place, while thumb tacks have flat heads that offer a good surface for pressing them into material by hand.
