The clips weren't secure and kept moving around. To keep my hanging files neat, I just put empty extra ones in the back. This tip didn’t work for me. The clips weren’t secure and kept moving around.

I have implemented it immediately. I have been struggling for years with hanging folders falling off their track. I even concocted a tape and paper version but it is nowhere near as effective as the binder clip!!! THANKS!!! This is an AWESOME tip. I have implemented it immediately.

I've been using them for years to close up chip bags, the inner bag in a box of cereal, etc.; much better than any of the other options. They are also good for hanging off hooks on the wire grid I use in my kitchen to hold utensils etc., so that I can then clip items to them that otherwise couldn't hang from there (e.g., potholders that don't have hanging loops). One place binder clips are NOT optimal: I once used a big one to clip up a ponytail; unfortunately I got a couple of strands of hair caught in the flanges on the front of the clip, which was mildly painful. I can't say it wasn't effective in a pinch, though. The only bad thing about this post is that it made me want to bring home a box of big binder clips from work ASAP – oops, clutter!

The boss told us to take them home, he didn't want to deal with them. I still have boxes of them. For a while "binder clip!" was the answer to everything.
