Previously you stocked clips having plastic or rubberized coatings on the levers. These were far superior as they were much easier to hold clip open by increasing the grip stability of fingers. Hope you can re-stock those clips.
These binders in small and medium size are a real improvement over standard and larage paperclips. They hold more pages and more securely than traditional paperclips. Easy to use.
I use the binder clips to protect and hold together files mostly but I have used them in the kitchen to close chip's bags. Another use it holding a protective screen over my fish pond. You'd be shocked to learn that they are good at holding snake cages together for the snake who thinks he's Hudini.
