Best Locking Pin Back

[Bryana]

What are your recommendations for a locking pin back? I see a few types out there. One that requires a tool and others that don't.

We had a thread about this here a while back and as I recall, the general consensus was to use the version without the tool because the one with the tool could bend or break the pin posts or something. Here's the thread I remember http://disneypinforum.com/showthrea...Pins-Ever-Again)&highlight=locking+backs+ebay

Having had both types, I concur with this. The no-tools backs are the best; they leave no damage on the pin that I can see and I've never had them come off.

Thanks for your responses....as I was clicking the submit thread button, I thought...I wonder if there is a post on this already. I should have searched.

The ones without wrench is better.

These are the best, in my experience. Very easy to pull off, yet it's so hard if you don't know why lol. And I've never had a pin fall off. Don't ask me where to find them though lol, I guess Ebay or something. My mother bought them back in 2002 from a seller in Paris. We have a whole bag of them.

Have these as well. Freakin' amazing.

I use this kind as well. I don't know if it's operator error or what, but every so often, I do get one that is a HUGE pain to get onto the pin, but that's maybe only 1% of the time.

For 3 years I have just forced the pin post through the black rubber of a mickey back and made a new hole just above/below the original post hole. I have never lost a pin. I check them to make sure they are snug all the time, but I have only had one fall out when the lanyard was in my backpack, never wearing it. Special pin backs are just a waste of money to me. And yes, I wear $300+ single pins on lanyards.
