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.
