What can I say? These are most definitely binder clips. If binder clips is what you're looking for you've come to the right place. They will clip all your papers (in stacks of up to 3/8") and keep them together until you unclip them. Suitable for other uses such as hair smaller-sized fingers plastic bags paper bags used as bookmarks (you can clip a section of a book to flip back and forth). These can be repurposed in conjunction with some larger-sized clips to use as phone stands charging stations (charger not included) coat button hooks and many other ways - very versatile. Definitely recommended!
