really think what im after is a simple way to secure the pins to the bags interior when i take 'em off...so they dont just fall to the bottom of the bag or roll off the table when the bags are off. something of a line teathered to the pins and the bag with just enough slack to remove...ive not had any issue with mine, think some are not getting them locked down right and they think they are...
