I've searched amazon.com for small paperclips, and they are the most expensive things in the world!
I would not pay $10 for 10 boxes of paperclips, and that's a good deal too (at least what shows on the web.

Anyway, these paper clips are perfect, because I'm not one of those people who need fat, colorful ones to look pretty on my papers.
Smooth clips, very normal paper clip design, fantastic price!
And 10 boxes at $3.99 is a steal!

Get it if you need it for work or school or whatever.

It is rather difficult to get overly excited about paper clips. I have been using these clips for several years now and did not even know it as I never bothered to look for a brand name...go figure. I think they were pretty cheap when I bought the last box, but then again, I am not real good about noticing or remembering the price of such items. To be perfectly honest, my wife buys all the office supplies an she never tells me anything.

Anyway, these are small clips and they work. I have never been overly fond of the candy colored ones or the special coated ones, or ones that glow in the dark, or ones that are suppose to hold paper together but are actually fashion statements. All I need is a wire thingy that holds papers together temporarily and that are not overly complicated as I am not overly mechanically inclined.

These do the job. When in a state of meditation, they bend well and you can make all kinds of silly figures out of them. I suppose you could call this an "art form," but I doubt it. Bend them into a V shape and they make great little things to shoot using a rubber band. I work alone and for myself so I have no fellow employees to worry about... I like that. It is not recommended that you twist and bend them, the clips, not fellow employees, into a useable shape to remove ear wax with though...bummer. It is fun though to make paper clip chains...sort of.

I like these clips. They are not all that expensive, rather expendable, easy to use and they are not so heavy duty that they destroy a paper shredder if you accidently forget to remove one...not that I ever did that...but I have heard stories.

Now I will probably buy these again. It is unlikely that I will ask to be buried with a box of them or anything like that, but all in all, as far as paper clips go, these are fine things.
