They are retarded..that is all..

I'll need to buy them in bulk.

You can find them in bulk and inexpensive on Amazon. I've purchased several types, but you need an 8mm stem diameter with the stem length around 20-22mm. Uxcell brand seems to be a good one. I also use a push rivet made by Bolt M8 2005-8SRIV on panels, like the intake cover between the seats, I remove often to clean my pre-filter. These Bolt push rivets are easy to remove just push the center pin all with way through when it's time to remove, then after you remove the pin from the panel you can push the center pin back the opposite way to reset for reinstall after you are finished. Hope this helps. BTW, what have you got goin on with your Zforce to remove these pins?

I'll look into them for sure thanks,, I was cleaning up and checking filters and mostly seeing what I have to do to access, filters,motor and everything in between.

Most of us just use these. 8-bucks for a 100 off amazon. Not bad. also use any push-pin tool.

Just order the 2,,,probably the best $20.00 I spent on Amazon.  Thanks

Definitly a must in the bag.

I replaced the pins I need to use most of the time with these and screws  works good

I was gonna say, if someone is buying a pack of the push pins to have on hand, probably a good idea to buy some of these clips too.  I've already lost a few.  Might be good to have some of both in the toolkit.

Those clips for screws won't work everywhere. Only where there an edge to slid it over...and there are very few of those. I always thought if I kept having problems with the push pins that I would switch-over to the screw-in type like these.

good idea with those pins also. but I cut/modified the plastic to make them work it was much better the any type of push pin for me. there are lots of ideas out there I never do anything that is standard on anything I own
