These rings are very helpful for connecting papers that students create for projects. They are putting together booklets and the rings enable them to add or rearrange pages at any time. They are also useful for making flashcards when trying to memorize.
We needed something tthat we could use with weekly pages that would flip over easily. These worked well but the person setting this project up has arthritis in her hands and had a difficult time opening and closing the rings.
Staples was the only place I could find with the lose rings. I use them in scrapbooking to make mini albums. Half of these are useless because they are stuck and I cannot get them to open. The ones that do open easily are great and exactly what I needed.
I purchased these rings to hold informational cards on products that I sell through a direct sales company. In each box there were at least 2 rings that did not work or were completely broken. The rings that worked did exactly what I wanted them to but with so many of them not staying together I almost wish I had just tied the tags on with ribbon.
