I have used the Staples Square Magnetic Clip in my classroom for the past two years. It is much more durable and stronger than the regular circular magnetic clip. I have not had any problem with the clips coming apart. When students are using the clips to hang work or a poster I need to caution them about the spring action of the hinges. Younger children would definitely need to be supervised when using these clips because of the strong spring action of the hinges. The magnets have an exceptional holding ability and sometimes I have had to slide them to the edge of a surface to get them to release.
I was looking for magnetic clips to use on the regrigerator at work - we are a coffee shop and pretty much use every plat surface (horizonal and vertical) back of house for messages tally sheets and inventory porposes. The odd thing was I couldn't find any magnetic clips at my local Staples! Plain magnets sure but not the clips. That's when I stumbled into the clearance section and found this one 3-pack for a pretty good price. The magnets are strong enough that when holding a fully loaded clipboard they will pull to the refridgerator even if you let go just before full attachment. The boss loves them and I am off insearch of more this weekend!
OH WOW! It's 2015 and I vowed to get my office organized. I have 6 calendars to keep for work and being a visual person I want them out where I can see them. I hang them on the sides of the file cabinets . . .where they promptly slide off every single day. . .until now. I saw these magnets and thought they looked like they might be worth a try. They come 3 in a package so wanted 2 packs. When my husband saw them we got 1 more before we ever left the store. These bad boys are STRONG! The jaws are tight and the stuff stays put no matter how much stuff I manage to cram on the clip. I just love having everything in place where I can see it and have it actually STAY IN PLACE!
Sure saves tape on the refrigerator. I constantly have a stack of papers to keep apart from the rest by putting them on refrigerator and on metal doors. Great way to keep coupons ready for shopping trips
