Maximum holding power for demanding setups
When a standard Dutch pin won’t hold — long walls, high winds, firm old mortar, or a profile carrying serious tension — the Forged Semi Twist pin is the bricklayer’s answer. Its twisted forged shank locks into the mortar joint far more aggressively than a smooth pin, holding the profile exactly where you set it for the full pour.
Why forged semi-twist?
Forging gives the pin superior strength and fatigue resistance compared to stamped or cast alternatives. The semi-twist profile bites into the joint from multiple angles, so the pin resists both pull-out and rotational drift under load.
