I use the clips to separate my classes assignments that they turn in. I have 30 to 35 students in my classes and they turn in weekly packets that are over 500 pages and the clip keeps them all into place.
I bought these clips to bookmark pages in my son's school workbooks (He is home schooled). There are about 20 pages in the table of contents and introductions of each book and I wanted to paper-clip them all together so I could easily flip to the next page needed in our lessons. I remembered my Daddy using these little black clips with "wings" on them to hold small stacks of paper together.[...] Of course I assumed that some 20-or-more years after I last remember Dad using them they would now be made cheaply and wouldn't really work. I honestly thought they would fall apart. But they are very strong and do the trick! I have used them for so many things throughout the house and I've bought and used every size. It's nice to know that even now when it seems everything is cheaply manufactured and anything with a decent pricetag also comes with shoddy performance Staples continues to turn out great products at a price I can afford. I'm not shopping at [...] for my office supplies ever again. Thank you Staples!
They keep the many parts of my volunteer life organized. These little clips "Just Don't Let Go". I prefer them over paper clips and I really don't think I could stay organized without them.
