I use this product for my quilting projects. I will use them to hold my rolled material in place when I have to sew my quilt borders. I also used a couple of the clips to hold my quilt in place on the table when I was doing some trimming. The clips kept it from rolling off the table. When I use a lot of them (6 or More) on the quilt it does get a little heavy. But I was very satisfied with the use of them.
Besides securing important documents like taxes and such it can also be use to keep bags of foods close like potato chips pancake bag and anything else.
