Are the pins that hold the plates in place small and are the pins plastic

No pins. The plates are held on by magic.. just kidding. I will do my best to try and explain how they connect. The plastic weight plates have a small piece of metal that is riveted to them where they connect to the handle. The riveted metal piece is flush on the weight plates (i.e. part of the plate). The handles have a series of metal cylinder pieces that rotate and hold plates on (maybe this is what you are referring to as pins). But it is metal-on-metal that hold on the plates, or that is what mine appear to be.

I bought these for my Granddaughters so there not at my house, but I have seen them I would say the big plated are roughly 4 to 5 inches and the small plates are about 3 to 4 inches around, sorry I cant be more specific for you. but my Grands Love them and play with them all the time.

No. Metal Pins. Best value for the price. I use them as marketing give aways and for customer handouts.

The plates do clamp evenly without leaving any space in between. They do come together.

I guess they are a little but hasn't bothered us-we've been really happy with the set. Eat dinner on our porch on it all the time :). Hope that helps!

mine is 50mm, therefore when i put my oly plates on them there is a little bit of slide space. not so much that it will jingle jangle but enough that it is not a tough resistance to slide my plates on

Yes they are more durable than regular plastic plate but you should still be careful.

Not sure as I purchased this item as a gift...I assumed the pins were not included.

I believe they are standard size. It is a good quality plate. My daughter loves it. Michelle

The plastic pins at first I was indifferent with. But after having these for over a month, I do wish they were metal or something less flimsy. Sometimes when you are rushing to change weight, the pins' flimsiness prevent them from sliding in straight as they need to. I don't think they are prone to breaking, but their flimsiness does sometimes annoy me a bit enough to deduct an extra half star from my rating.

The plates are small dinner or large lunch size--about 8" across. They are well printed and medium strength.

They are fine for most plates, starting with dinner size on the bottom. There is another product described as heavy weight. I ordered both and the heavy weight is definitely stronger.

The pins are not installed and it comes as the kit. The pins are stamped and laid out on a continuous strip that you break them off of. They are the large pins. I was a bit disappointed in the pins actually. I'm a much bigger fan of the solid pins but you need a more expensive tool to crimp the solid pins.

They are a lot bigger than most plates and in the most known organizers such as bundle monster they will not fit. I keep them in the box they came in, at least they're protected. Hope this helps.

Yes they are, some of them didn't screw in very well and weren't sturdy. I used plate chargers on the bottom and $ store plates for the others. They looked very elegant
