The pins are inserted into plaster or brick joints to create a stable anchor point. The curved arm then slides along the pin to clamp materials securely, allowing for adjustments before final fixing.

How to Use

2. Insert the Pin: Gently hammer the pointed end into the surface (plaster or cement) until the pin is securely positioned.
3. Align Your Materials: Position the materials or battens in place, making sure they are correctly aligned.
4. Secure with Curved Arm: The curved arm will slide along the pin’s shank, holding the materials securely in place.
5. Adjust as Needed: If necessary, reposition the pin or material to get the perfect fit.
