We only use 316L ASTM F-138 Implant Grade Stainless Steel Sterilized Precision Coated Piercing Needles.

A custom emery wheel is used to cut the tips, which is a factor in why Precision has sharper needles than other manufacturers. Between the materials used to make them, the manufacturing process, and the tests run to ensure quality, we guarantee that you won’t look elsewhere for other needles. Our coated needles have been heat-coated with DuPont DryFilm Coating, which eliminates the need for any additional lubrication. It is widely accepted as the standard in the medical industry for needles and staples.

Threadless jewelry uses the tension between the end and the shaft to fit and stay together. The end has an insertion pin which is slightly bent when inserted into a straight shaft. This slight bend of the pin against the straight shaft creates a spring tension, holding the end securely in place. Follow the instructions below to secure the threadless end into the threadless shaft:

1. Insert the pin one-third to halfway into the shaft.
2. Hand-bend slightly the insertion pin against the shaft, as shown in the gallery of images.
3. Push the end into the shaft and test the fit.

Adjusting the Fit: If it is too tight, take some of the bend out of the pin and try again. Remember, adjust slightly and then try again.
