Pin Backs?

[PinkBudgie]

I currently use the locking pin backs when I wear my pins to school on my whistle lanyard. However, I notice that these are not always very good for my pins. And they are hard to quickly put on and off. I saw someone on ebay who sells pin backs for all kinds of pins and heard some other Disney pin people like these better. They are supposed to stay on tight. Has anyone had any experience with pin backs other than the Disney ones? I'm not liking the whole allen wrench thing but don't want to use the Mickey ears that fall off. Any thoughts?

We bought locking pin backs a couple years ago from an ebay seller named disneypatriot, and we have been very satisfied with them. We use them for any pins we wear on lanyards in the parks. I believe we have only "lost" one pin among the four of us when using these pin backs, and the lost pin was actually quickly recovered from the ground where it dropped. It was dislodged only because somehow something caught right between the pin backing and lanyard and torqued which essentially pried the pin off.

I think those are the ones I was looking at before. Thanks!

Thanks for providing the ebay name. I am looking at buying some as we get closer to our trip and it is always great to see who the "good ones" are. Thanks!
