Years ago I read Bob Dozier said they test the D-2 steel when they receive it and if it isn't what they want, they send it back. I worked for a company once that pretty much went out of business because they didn't check the strength of the magnets from their vendors. The time and money wasted on ad...

It’s not a pin. It’s actually a small area anvil, designed specifically to test small components. Here is a pic of the anvil used in the tests.
