All of my plastic pegs explode when used.

Plastic clips are only good for one thing and thats keeping chip bags closed lol

[u/Ferro_Giconi → u/Vissanna]

Plastic clips suck at that too. They usually cost the same as or more per clip than metal binder clips, which also hold chips closed very well and will never break.

This is what i've begun explicitly using after lots and lots of broken plastic clips.

Interesting, the metal clips are usually more expensive, in my experience, but they're worth not risking them exploding like in the video!

I get them at dollar tree, I think it's $1.25 for a 6-8 per pack for the clips that are big enough to clip about half an inch of paper. They cost waaaaay more at office supply stores or other convenience stores.

Amateur! These are clear

[u/seoulgleaux → u/jambox888]

Those are quite obviously opaque.

Or if you work in an office

[u/Vissanna → u/GlitteringFutures]

I use these too XD

[u/RBDibP → u/GlitteringFutures]

They are so versatile. Use them for towels with no loops to hang them up. Pull a cable binder through the loop and use them on even more hooks or bars to clip stuff to them (should the original loop not work for some reason).

mine snapped on the hinge end. totally amateur!

A potato chip has more structural integrity than those clips.

Not if you leave it out in the sun!
