these hold better than paper clipsI like the colors because I can use them to separate the projects I'm working.Great product.I have small, medium and large binder clips. these are smaller than small. I'm still able to use them, but I would have preferred the slightly larger small clips.I love these EXTRA SMALL clips... an uncommon size... which work well for a small # of papers (but don’t, unlike paperclips, easily fall off or warp). I also like the variety of colors, as I use color coding in my organization. I love office products and have binder clips in XS, S, M, L & XL.I keep these in a drawer in my kitchen. I use them for anything that needs to be closed, like:The inner bag in a cereal boxChips, chips and more chipsThe inner bag in a cracker boxFrozen vegetables -- I buy big bags and just remove enough to eat, close it up with a binder clip and back in the freezerClosing the brown sugar bag, even when I put it in another containerThere are a gazillion uses, but these things are what I use them for mostly.I love the fun colors. It's a fair price. They are well made.Size for a small # of pages, quality clip with a good grip. Uses throughout North America in offices & homes. Make good color combinations. Such as:Red-White- BlueGreen -White - RedRed-White-RedI got these to use for making "hexies," which are eventually made into quilts. When using the "English Paper Piecing" method, these work great to hold one corner together as you begin to baste the hexagonal fabric. They are small and work perfectly on the 1" sized pieces I'm making. I keep them in a wide-mouthed, half-pint canning jar. Very cool for this use.
