Comments about Wrap Pins for Turnbuckles:
Although a great idea, pins are flimsy (have to straighten them out a lot) and the epoxy binder is very brittle and cracks very easily. Have lost 4 already.

Comments about Wrap Pins for Turnbuckles:
2 out of 4 didn't survive the first heavy-air race. I tune for every race, so these seemed like a great idea. First, the pins were too long. Second, the metal in them is too soft. I had to cut a couple of them off since I was unable to straighten them out enough to remove them.
Service and delivery comments:
I used ship to store, and was never notified that they arrived at the store.

Comments about Wrap Pins for Turnbuckles:
I use this for securing the turnbuckles that I have to adjust each time I step or drop the rigging on my trailerable sailboat. The best part of these is that I don't have to worry about sharp pins damaging rigging or sails.
