Decotacks 100 Pcs/Box Upholstery Tacks Upholstery Nails ∅7/16" Head x 1/2" Long Shank Antique Brass DX0511AB

I built a stitching pony for my wife. She decided later to add leather padding to the clamping surface but fabric spray adhesive didn't hold on to the leather. I used these to tack the leather to the wood of the pony. The antique finish looks great against the black leather. The tacks are sharp and easy to push the tip into poplar wood. They can handle using a mallet to seat them. I also had to remove a couple and the heads did not separate from the pins so they are well made

Just Perfect

I needed about 2-dozen tacks for a project and landed on these for the price. I wanted a tack that wasn't going to bend/break.These fit the bill. I'm using them to attach and add accent to a 1/4" thick leather strip being bound to pine wood (with adhesive). I'm using an awl to punch the leather and the wood, which allows the tack to go in about half to 3/4 of the way, and then I used a rubber mallet to finish driving the tack in.I did bend 1 tack because I did not properly prepare the hole. If you intend to use this with wood, and do not prepare the wood, it will likely bend. I ordered an awl from Amazon for about $3.00 when I ordered these and I'm glad I did. I've used the awl for a few other projects since I've had it..I have plenty of these left over for future projects and would buy again if I ran out and needed more.

The tacks looked well but bent easy when pounding them into the wood. Need to make a drill hole before you pound them into wood.

I've purchased some before and they are brittle and break easy. These ones are strong and don't break easy!!

I recovered a chair, total diy. I purchased these upholstery racks to give the chair a nice look. I love the look but they are not strong. I broke several when tapping them in. I would purchase a higher quality if I ever do this again.
