Maj. C: The spring clothespins that I buy at the $1.00 Store are made in China too: from Canadian wood...go figure!!
But seriously: if you take a $0.02 clamp and apply a rotary tool, you can shape any kind of clamp that you want...and the springs won't crush most small parts.

Remember: I come from WINNIPEG, Canada where "cheap, cheap" is not just a bird call!!

Natural Laws of Bureaucracy

Must that once a government has attained a certain level of 'revenue' then the law of 'Bureaucratic Momentum' demands they maintain at least that same level for perpetuity.

Apparently; only cure may be to fire them all...

Nuff said.
These are very useful indeed. In the U.K and at outlets such as "Pound Stretchers" and other Low priced stores, we manage to get a pack of 6 these in mid size for £1.00 or 12 smaller for the same price - the same company who produce these have a really large size too - you get 2 of these for that £1,00. They really are good value, and can be found in other stores at RIP OFF prices.
