I'm a retired engineer and scientific philosopher finishing up two last books. So I use lots of clips in a day. I've had clips around all my life from school through college and for what I do. I love the non-skid/non-slip design...these my first ever. Time will tell regarding the non-corrosive issue. Clips are clips - but these GOT THAT LITTLE EXTRA!
I haven't bought paper clips lately. As soon as I opened the box I could feel that the clips were flimsy and had no grip. I actually took out my micometer to measure the old paper clips and the new ones. THe old ones are 20% thicker the difference was fron 35 to 42. Staples should be embarressed to sell these. Bring back the thicker ones and charge me more and I'll be happy.
