3-inch Stainless Steel Heavy Duty Chip Clips
Don’t waste your time on plastic or cheap chrome-plated steel chip clips with weak springs that lose their tension over time. Your food will go stale quicker and you’ll pay more in the long run replacing cheaper clips when they break or wear out. You can’t beat these heavy duty stainless steel clips for a dollar a piece.
These clips actually hold the bag closed tighter than the plastic ones that are twice as wide. Why waste all that room when they’re stored in a drawer when you can buy a clip that is stronger, more durable, and only half the size?
I was impressed right away by how much clamping force these clips have. Excess trapped air (and the moisture in contains) in packaging is the main culprit when food goes stale. I can tightly seal the semi-rigid plastic packaging on a standard size bag of coffee beans with one of these, which I couldn’t do with even the largest of the plastic chip clips because they lacked the clamping strength. A tight seal is important for anything going into the freezer to minimize the chance of freezer burn.
With a one-inch capacity (this refers to the distance between the clamps when you open them, not the clamping width intself), these clips are perfect for chips, bread, cereal, coffee, cookies, and much more.
I have had a set of these clips for more than six years. The springs are just as strong as they were when they were new.
