Ever have one break mid-push and bury itself in your thumb? I wouldn’t recommend it.

Actually not all are. I used to have ones that I’d pull out the pin out and it was smooth on the back end – so it slid out without a head on it.

I call them tacks

Don’t put it in a box of erasers they might melt

Oh I *wish* they were all like that. The worst, scariest, and most painful injury, despite having broken bones before, was when I pushed a thumb tack into a wall with *all* my strength (not realizing I was hitting a beam)… and the plastic gave way, allowing as equally a fine point of metal as on the other end to pierce straight through. Absolutely traumatic experience; haven’t messed with thumb tacks since.

Wait till you crack open one of those corn cob holders

More or less.
It’s injection modeled plastic shot into a mold with pressure and heat around a nail.
If you notice/feel the seam line that’s from the 2 halfs of the mold where it seerates to shoot these out. It’s such a small amount of plastic you can do a cycle with like 20 of these on a tooling die at a time in just a few seconds

Corn cob holders are the same thing.

A lot of things are just nails..
Thumb tacks are just nails with plastic.
Toothpicks are just wooden nails for your teeth.
Birthday candles are just cake nails you light on fire.

Actually nails are just pushpins without the plastic so they sit flush.

What are these, nails for ANTS?

Interestingly, my husband always calls these ‘nails.’ I always thought it was a bit weird, but thought maybe it was a regional thing. 🤷♀️

That’s why I drive them with a hammer for the rest of my life, watched my cousin lose her fingernail giving too much push 😱

Nails are really just naked push pins.
You’re going to feel a bit odd holding a nail next time, aren’t you.
