These are the best loose-leaf rings! They open and close easily every time. The are very shiny! You won't be disappointed with these rings. They will never let you down and leave you stranded at the wrong time!
The 1" rings are the right size. They can be used to hold a large quanity of papers without the bulkiness of a larger ring. I used them to hold a manual size book. I gave these manuals to the American Legion Chaplains in a recent course. It took 3 rings but they fit all the papers.
I used this item with sturdy rubber bands to secure cabinet doors so that my 15 month old grandaughter could not get into the cabinets. They work like a charm and when she goes home they are very easy to remove.
I'm a fan of binder clips. If you every have to assemble a bunch of documents and dread the bulk of an actual binder these are definitely the way to go. I've used them for presentations songbooks for our choir receipts photo flip books etc. I've even used teeny-tiny ones (special ordered elsewhere) for invitations and wedding programs. LUV 'EM!!!
