I just love these things! I have had this set for about 4 years and not one has broken. I use them for chips as well as freezer items.

Another feature that I enjoy is not having to dig through a kitchen drawer to find them since they stick to the fridge.

After 4 years I still have three of the 4 clips. Only one has broken and since they stick to the fridge I have not even lost one of the clips. This to me is impressive!

I have a few "chip bag type clips" and they really are not as good as these new Oxo Good Grips clips. I love them. They can be used to keep any bag closed or even to hang notes on the fridge.

Want to keep a page open in a cookbook? They will hang out on your cookbook to help you out.

The soft grip makes them easy to use and the rubber edge grips bags securely. They don't slip off like those "other" bag clips. You know the ones.

For bags of chips and everything else. Also keeps the bags of frozen veggies from spilling in the freezer!

P.S. The pictures here can be confusing. I ordered these again and they look like the top picture not the optional picture.

This is one of the most functional gadgets I have around the kitchen. Useful for closing a bag of chips or a pound of coffee beans. Magnetized so I can put shopping lists and messages on the fridge door. I like the assorted colors so each of us can clip our own bag of leftovers, etc. OXO took a simple idea and improved it, making it multi-functional.

There are many varied uses for this set of four "Good Grips" bag clips. I use mine to hold notices to my refrigerator door as well as to close previously opened bags of chips and as a filing system for monthly bills to keep my kitchen clutter to a minimum. They are sturdy and well made and easy to open for those of us with arthritis or carple tunnel syndrome. The first class quality is a customary feature of most OXO "Good Grips" products. Once you have a set of these clips, you'll wonder how you managed to do without them for so long! (At this price, consider ordering a second set!)

I bought these at a dollar store (different colors, though), and they are AWESOME. Great grip; they don't warp like some of the long clips tend to, easy to spot in a drawer*, and cute looking.
*I give them 4 stars because, as some people have mentioned, the magnet is really not good at all, unless all you want it for is to STORE them on the fridge surface. I was trying to hold a PICTURE (8x10), and it kept sliding off.
Still, they work wonderfully with any sized-bags, they are well assembled, and can stand freezed temperatures marvelously.

Highly recommended.

Until I got these as a bridal shower gift, I shopped at the dollar store for jumbo packages of clothespins, but those of us who are in the know, know that clothespins fall apart if you just look at them.
I use them for anything that needs to be clipped in the fridge, freezer, cupboard or bathroom, and in a pinch (oops, pardon the pun) my sister used them to section my hair when she was coloring it, I kid you not!
If I give something away that requires a clip, it get a clothespin. These guys aren't leaving the house.
As far as the magnet problem, if you can, store them on the side of the fridge rather than the front.

The OXO Good Grips Bag Clips are handy thing to keep around. They have a magnetic strip on the back so that they can be conviently placed on the refrigerator. The clip is covered with plastic so that the handles will not slip from your hands. The clips are multipurpose. They can be used to keep bags closed, or hold papers to the refridgerator. OXO bag clips are easy to use.

These little clips can close open bags, hold coupons on the fridge, or keep your kid's A+ psper up for all to see! I had a similar set of clips, but most broke, and I turned to these to substitute the others. Luckily for me, these were even better, holding single sheets of paper or a large bag shut...with no trouble.

A must-have! I would recommend buying two sets, because you will find many uses for them once you start to use them!

We recently ordered and received another batch of these high-performance clips from Oxo. We already had a set from years back. I came to write a review and started scanning reviews and was startled at how many less-than-fair star ratings are accumulating and read them. Well, almost all are of the nature of "you can buy binder clips for less" and one is from a consumer who was unhappy that the clips would not support kitchen TOWELS, another unhappy because they roll their snack bags and the clips couldn't accommodate the "girth" of the roll, if you will. DON'T be concerned about purchasing these clips, just look forward to receiving them.. they would make a nice small gift or a great little addition to a gift basket, we've had the first set for more than four years and they still look NEW, their grip is still secure, they brighten up the kitchen, they are easy to use, I've never had to clean them except for occasional "wipe-off", we already have our second set purchased very recently and they are just as outstanding as the old ones, let me put it this way: The OLD ones are EQUAL to the NEW ones in EVERY way...how many times can you say that about an additional purchase of a favored item?? Buy without remorse, concern or guilt. Especially if you prefer kitchen items that cheer up you and your kitchen rather than binder clips (which I despise unless forced to use binder clips for an inch or more of paper, I've been "snapped" by them countless times and furthermore they're not intended for kitchen use where moisture could occur (i.e., rust), also small children can't handle binder clips easily and the smaller ones could pose a problem..esp. for toddlers.I'm not for binder clips in the kitchen). If there were a higher rating than five-stars I would give the highest rating possible to this product. I just don't like to see product ratings that are low due to unrelated issues of the product.

OXO Clips are great. They are sturdy, virtually unbreakable, and have magnets on them so that you can stick them to the refrig, or they'll stick together in a part of your drawer.

I use them for everything. I've stopped using those chip clips which slide off, and you also have to fiddle with them to get them on. Someone mentioned Binder Clips...yes, but they are harder to get on and off, ugly, and very tight; sometimes you want a clip that holds things together well but doesn't crush them---this is hard to explain, but I'll just say that I find the amount of tension on the OXO Clips ideal.

OXO makes easy-to-use real handy products, and I have never been disappointed in any of them. At this price, you can afford to try the clips out. You'll probably want to buy more. Then you can use yellow for chips, red for cereal, blue for...well, you get the picture...if you want to get really organized and have fun, too...(I'm not that organized).

Great buy.
