I use these to mark and hold pages in my cook books. When I'm baking i use them at various times to hold parchment paper among other liners such as wax paper or tinfoil in place as I fill various receptacles...sometimes I'll have a recipe on a separate piece of paper or an index card and I will hang a clip with a pin or from a hook above the counter where I'm working....I use the same application in my office as I tend to misplace notes I make myself...I find these clips better than most others because they tend to stand out whereas paper clips tend to blend in...
I really like these clips. The medium size is the most used here at our office however I just wish there was a size bigger than the large size. We find we have a need for that size more and more. I like these clips because they are not a permanent attachment. We are constantly adding and removing papers from files and it is more convenient than having to remove a staple every time. Also there usually isn't a mark left on the papers like there is with a staple and sometimes with a paper clip. I recommend these binder clips and suggest they make an extra-large size.
I am not a "name brand" snob but I don't want to save money if it means an inferior product. Everybody is familiar with a binder clip and its uses but I wanted to review this as a "Staples" brand product. I always save myself a few bucks and order the Staples binder clips because they are equal in quality to the name brand. Don't waste your money -- buy the Staples brand binder clips. I have virtually every size in my office from mini to extra-large and they are all great. The mini clips are a great alternative to paperclips and do not damage or get caught on the paper.
Our company purchases Staples® Medium Metal Binder Clips Bulk Pack Black 1 1/4" Size with 5/8" Capacity by OIC. We have been using this size binder clip for over seven years. They are well made and very sturdy. We have had very few break or tear up. Our biggest problem is keeping employees from loosing them or better yet taking them home with them. They are so versatile and can be used to keep papers organized and in sequence. You can use them to grip items for hanging on hooks. And of course you can use them to keep the chip bags closed. We are definitely a fan of these clips and will highly recommend them.
These are the best value for holding those extra large files together through office processing until they are prepared for shredding 30-60 days later.
