CosattoHeavy Duty Clothes Pins, Made in Italy, 3 X 10 = 30 Clothespins by

These are the style one sees in countries where most folks hang their clothes outside to dry. They are large and sturdy to hang jeans and expect these will last a very long time without discoloring.

Don’t hesitate to get these if you’re looking to never ever have to deal with old, rotted out and busted up clothespins. Heavy-duty and supremely durable, worth every penny. They’re not cheap price wise but you are getting quality...and you won’t be retrieving your line-dried laundry from your neighbour’s yard.

If you want clothes pins that are sturdy like the ones when I was a child, then get these. I bought 3 different versions at the same time. These are the only ones I trust with my Jeans, Blankets, HEAVY bath towels. In fact, I bought a 2nd set for big laundry days! Really good spring coil like the old pins we used to have, but I lost them in my last move (grrrrrrrr). The plastic was smooth and I did not have worries they would catch on and tear my clothes.I was not sure I would like these b/c they are plastic. I have--HAD plastic ones about 10-20 years old (from Wal-Mart). Both those ones were thin--almost hollow, and they fell apart due to age and being kept in a storage locker for a year.THESE PINS LOOK AND WORK LIKE THE OLD WOODEN PINS I GREW UP WITH (I'm in my 40s). They are thicker and sturdy.These pins did not catch on my clothes and they could handle the windy days without a problem. I live in Iowa so it gets pretty darn windy--my favorite day to wash and dry blankets and sheets! These held up to the wind catching the fitted bed sheets and turning them into sailboat sails! NO PROBLEM!There was a large wooden option that was made in China. They were not bad, better than what you can buy in WalMart, and you got 100 pins for about 15 dollars. They were stronger than WalMart pins with about 6 coils, and definitely bigger. And they really thick heavy bath towels took 3 of the Chinese ones to make sure they did not come loose while hanging-- but a couple did in stronger winds. I was going to keep them and use them for lighter clothes--UNTIL I NOTICED THE NUMBER OF DEFECTIVE PINS. The Chinese wooden pins were not very well made-- at least 1/3 of them had chips, splits, or cracks in the wood, or they were not staying aligned and came apart. I ended up returning those back with the 3rd option. (If you buy the Chinese ones b/c of the price, order 2 of them, cull through both packages and return one order. But I would not trust them for my heavy or delicate items.). The third option I returned had a plastic hook, so you could double up clothes on the line-- like hanging a bra on the hooks with a shirt. But the main part was just too weak to hold clothes with any amount of weight and in stronger wind. Good idea but they need more work on the tension. I would buy them again if they fix that--or if I am hanging my clothes on an interior clothes line--like in an apartment or bathroom.I was going to purchase the clothespins that are made in America, and cost $2.00 per pin (but with lifetime warranty) to guarantee I had pins that I could rely on to have the proper coil strength for my laundry. BUT THESE ARE A GOOD, CHEAPER OPTION TO THAT! IF, I did not find these, I would have purchased the American pins. I average 2-3 loads of laundry per week--mostly sheets, towels, and blankets because nothing beats the smell of line dried clothes! AND NOTHING MORE AGGRAVATING THAN FINDING FRESH WASHED CLOTHES ON THE GROUND OR WITH A TEAR. And it helps me keep costs down on using a dryer and then additional A/C because of the dryer. My electricity usage has gone down a lot from the prior summer.(and I like helping Italy out purchasing their goods--what with they went through at the beginning of the pandemic).THESE ARE THE BEST TO BUY IF YOU DON'T, OR CAN'T BUY THE AMERICAN OPTION!!!

I was skeptical because they are not a cheap price. At first glance, I thought they short-shipped. I was pleasantly surprised that they had sent more due to the way it's packaged. Regardless I will be buying more and they absolutely work. They are strong. Have 2 different grip holes for thick or thin fabric and we'll worth the price.

These are the best clothes pins I have ever bought. Would buy again
