It says the pin is removable. Really? I don't want to break them. I figure I'd take a punch to them, but if they're really not removable, ...

Yes, the pins are definitely removable. It's been a little while since I purchased and installed them, but if I remember correctly, I put the punch at the edge of the top of the pin and knocked it out softly.

Yes, the pins can be removed, just not very easily! I had no luck getting them out by using a screw driver and trying to angle the pin loose at at the top. I was able to find a very small screwdriver whose head I was able to fit through the opening on the bottom of the hinge, and through some heavy pounding with a hammer I was able to get the pin out. It took a lot of force to remove the pin, which was most evident when the pin flew all the way across the room and hit the wall when it finally came out.

the pin holding the two sections of the hinge together is completely removable. let me add that maybe it's just me but I'm not entirely happy with the way these hinges fit together. the curved metal sections that hold the pin don't line up as well as I would expect. this doesn't seem to affect performance the door travels very smoothly, but it just doesn't look right. but there aren't too many choices out there in nickel finish at this price point.

If you're happy with a particular pinned blade but for some reason (such as fine work or no edge access) you need to use (and you saw will accept) a pinless blade, you can always knock out the pins. Conversely, adding pins to a pinless blade, while not impossible, is grossly impractical.

In my opinion, you don't really need a new pin if yours doesn't shows signs of wear. My gun was brand new so I didn't replace mine.

The pins will come out if you work at it. Some things that might help are a hammer, and screwdriver along with a little WD 40.

if you have the newer style dies these will not work, you need the pin's with a head on them. If you remove the broken pin you'll see the head on it

Normally i don't think they were meant to be broken off but if you make sure that the pressure where you'll break off the nail is at the base where it's attached; it should just snap off without it snapping in half on you.

It looks like they are just pressed in. They don't come out on their own or wiggle. I have not tried to force them out. If you break or lose one, I would guess that you would likely replace the both bit and socket together.

Some pins (Either Chinese, Russian, or Yugo) have a pin you can press down to remove. If yours is not this type of pin you have to cut the pin in half or grind the nub off.Replacement pins can be purchased on e-bay, etc if you want to fall back to the original configuration.All the best

Yes, Josheph. The pin can be removed, that is how we use ours. It makes it much lighter to pick up.

Yes, they are reversible. It includes instructions on how to deal with the pin. I haven't tried it though, so I can't speak to how easy or difficult it is.

They are removable but would require a wrench. They are not made to just quickly pop off and on.

My experience has been you would receive different pins. You might have a couple of duplicates but mine have mostly been different. You might want to order a couple of weeks apart just to increase your chances of different pins.

I don't know...but I would suspect so. You would have to talk to the manufacturer. I have never needed to replace a pin.

Mine have not broken off. They are attached on one edge and are not intended to come off. If you try hard enough they may fatigue and fall off over time. If you wanted to break it off, i'm sure you could, but I don't see the purpose of that.

I did a serch on the net and yes you can, but the unit is cheap enough to just buy a new one if you break them. Take care of it and do not force the pins to deep into anything hard except drywall or other soft materials. It works fine without having to go to deep..

I would say, you ABSOLUTELY should be able to... take them off with no mess. The one I purchased has a very light adhesive. Not too "tacky"... or gummy of a glue. Almost like a command hook, strip. (If you're familiar with those) I hope this helps. :)
