These clips are great for keeping 1/4" thick paperwork together. I've never had one fail on me over the years and they are fairly low profile so that if you need to use several in a file it doesn't make your folder much deeper. We all have files where several internal items are either too thick to staple or we will need to retrieve individual papers later. If you use these clips for the right thickness they will not leave a mark. 3/8" is ideal but 1/4" works as well.
These clips do exactly what they are supposed to do. How many things can you say that about? They are sleek and contemporary with a shiny black coat accented by silvery grip. When I need to clip a lot of paperwork together but don't want to staple bind or hole-punch these little fellas are my go-to tool. I buy the small and large versions of metal binder clips as well. The entire family of Staples clips shines brightly in an uncertain world. I will buy these again and again as I seem to accumulate an abundance of paperwork in our "paperless society". Thanks Staples.
Not too small but big enough for security many of your documents. Strong and long-lasting if you treat them right...make sure you store them and use them by securing your documents with the "handles" down. Staples brand is always reliable.
