Its a binder clip! One of the greatest inventions in the business office. A small pleasure in my day when I can find the right size clip in my desk drawer.
These are wonderful for keeping your quarterly reports from investments and to be able to retrieve copies of mutual funds stocks etc. for tax info in future years.
I use these clips to keep my ribbons that are cut in small pieces organized by size and color. I wish these clips were also in color. That would make by organizing even better. The smooth edges keep my ribbons from fraying.
I use this item to hold coupons for shopping; to keep together weekly ads I want to use; to hold documents together when filing or carrying to a class or meeting. It keeps the papers together far better than a paper clip. If you do not want marks on the paper use a stickum with out the adhesive and the papers are protected as long as they are filed. I store them in a clear box in an easy to reach location for easy access. There are various sizes for different applications. They are superior to paper clips which can slide and leave dents on the paper.
