Last year my wife came along to help me dart and fit a cover. She dropped three quick fit pins in the water in about two minutes! I made her sit in the truck! Okay, not really but I was starting to stress every time she said "oops"

I lost one inside a customers boat, I was using them to fit some curtains. Almost one year later he called me over to hand it back  :o I did say I hope he didn't find it with his foot.
I can't get them over here so have shipping to pay on top of that Mike.  :'(

I have a love/hate relationship with these buggers. I love them because they are essential when fitting a canvas project. And, I hate them, not only because a few always end of in the water, but because one of them will always stick a finger or two. That is why I keep a large supply of band aids in my bag.

I found decent pricing on these and the caps at Perfect Fit.
