For bigger-jaw jobs, I have what I've always called welding clips, but that may be the wrong moniker. Finally, for rusting locations HFT has plastic clips in a bag that don't have this problem.Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12066904198364843577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154511856319682113.post-26408816316668675022019-03-09T15:10:52.764-08:002019-03-09T15:10:52.764-08:00Colin,

LOTS of people hang out their laundry!!! C'mon, tell me you were kidding!!<br />I also use clothespins for a variety of uses, including to secure bags closed--cookies, crackers, cereal, potato chips etc. They are also great with a bit of magnet glued on the back to hang papers/calendars etc on my fridge. And they are useful when I sew instead of pinning fabric to hold it together, especially for things like leather and waterproof PUL that one wouldn't want to put a pinhole into. I always have a few in my suitcase when travelling so I can clip the hotel room curtains closed if needed, so I can hang my bathing suit to dry and to attach my towel to the beach chairs at the top so the towel doesn't constantly fall down. They are truly indispensable little things!littleleftienoreply@blogger.com
