STM has a website they sell theirs from ( they are the original, & from what I've heard, use a magnetic stainless pin ) I got mine from E-bay, the same place always has it listed... the stuff I got off e-bay, is non magnetic...
pro's & cons ??? I would guess the non magnetic has a lower iron content, & thus would be more corrosion resistant ( my pins never dry out, I use them enough, they are always wet )... however, you will spill a few on occasion, & they are a bear to pick up... if they were magnetic, it would aid picking up the spares a lot...
