My husband seen these clips mentioned on a homesteaders YouTube video and he wanted to give them a try. THEY WORK AMAZINGLY!! We will totally be buying more of these as we need them! They are reusable, so that is a plus! They are OH SO EASY to attach to the tomato plants and they hold them up very well! So glad to have found these clips. We have only used them on our tomatoes, but next year, we are planning a much larger garden, so we will need many more for that. They are light weight, clear in color, and your string is grabbed by the hinge. The hinge has little grabber teeth and they hold very well. The clip just lightly snaps together. It is not a hard clip at all. I was expecting to have to "snap" them together, and that is not at all how they work. your just push them together and the clip forms a circle around the plant as it presses down on the string or twine in the hinge. I suggest at least ordering you a bag to try. You will not be upset with the purchase and will more than likely be a returning customer.
