Update: My string line was off for a whole 20-foot wall because my pins were bent.

The client's inspector pointed it out and I had to tear down the top three courses. Anyone else had a pin fail on them like that?

Isn't it wild how one small bent thing can ruin a whole big project?

Yeah, a bent pin is brutal. I switched to the heavy-duty ones after that happened to me.

Bent pins aren't really a "fail," you just should have checked them before pulling the line tight.
