https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/50-100Pcs-C ... .l4275.c10 postage included.
Arrived to rural Vic from NSW in three days! Three Days!
Checked what the vendor had paid in post -was $2, didn't scrimp so I got it quicker. Was the cheapest 50 I could find as well.
Normal snail post bw Vic and anywhere else at the minute seems to be around two weeks. Excellent quality and pressure/spring for the size as well.
Would buy again. No affiliation to the vendor.

Those are cheap. I wonder how long they will last before the plastic fails?
We have the extra long ones as well, about 60mm long.

Mine have had a bit of use already-not lost any so far but don't know long term. I have a feeling they all are the same? I looked at a few different sellers they all seemed to be the same thing at the time? No packaging at all just a wee zip lock.
I would like some longer ones as well.

replaces pins, I use them because my fumble fingers kept getting painful pin stick

Still not getting it! What does one need pins for in the bush? The only use I can see for those is as clothes pegs, and clothes pegs are probably lighter! I’d like to believe that I can think laterally, but I’m really stumped with these “clips”!

You don't pin when sewing?
How do you stop fabric from slipping?

Now I understand. Never thought about clipping instead of pinning!

Clips are the way to go. No holes in fabric or fingers.

Held my Argon 90 15D together beautifully to make my pants.
Grip like the devil.
