The Staples binder clips are just as sturdy and reliable as any other binder clips I've ever used. I've used all of the available sizes and have had no problem with any of them. I love binder clips for their versatility. Although intended to hold papers together (which is my main purpose for use) I've also found them to be helpful in keeping trash bags from falling into the barrel closing chip bags holding items in place and a plethora of other uses. I give Staples Binder Clips 5 stars. They are a very useful product to have around.
I like the value of the Staples brand binder clips I use them to attach batches of papers in our filing system so do not need high quality. These more than serve our needs. Worth the money.
As most office professionals know these binders are an office necessity. The medium binder is the perfect size to bind paperwork that is too large for heavy staplers. Although we all three size clips in our business the medium is the staple we can't do without.
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.
