4101 Midi Tarp Clip, 4-Pack, Black

I met the guy who invented these clamps several decades ago at a wholesaler's show. I bought a hand full of them and used them on tarps to cover firewood and loose dirt/ mulch piles. They are still working great.It wasn't until I recently found them on Amazon that I got more. Before this, I used three other makes of clamps on my swimming pool cover that didn't work. These couldn't hold onto the cover.I attached the EasyKlip's to my bubble wrap thermal cover and tie them off on a spool to roll up the cover. They work PERFECT! They hold firmly to the cover.The Klips that I've been using for 25 years on my tarps have never let go. My tarps have ripped and shredded in high winds but the Klips have always hung in there.These are the best! Period!

Strong, quick to deploy, highly effective. Curiously hard to find out here. Ideal. 4 stars only because releasing it is not as easy as using an inserted coin might appear, at least in use on my boat cover. So, I advise be sure you put it where you want it to stay.

I got these to hold down tarps while camping, and for holding up fabric wall and window decorations without harming the fabric. They are tough but gentle and do not harm the tarps or even the most delicate fabric.Also, these grip so firmly that I was really concerned that I wouldn't be able to get them off! I was wrong! Just use a quarter and twist at the middle point and they very easily come right off when you need them to.

I bought a set of these EasyKlip tarp clips, as well as a set of the Tekton 6268. I am using them to help hold my couch covers in place on my living room couches. For my purposes, the Tekton ones are much easier to attach/remove to/from the couch covers since they have a screw-down knob. The EasyKlip latch is very difficult to open up when I want to remove them from the couch cover since you have to press down on a piece of plastic in the center and try to slide it open at the same time. It gets jammed so tight that it's hard to open. Once installed, they both stay attached equally well. So I ended up buying a second set of Tektons, and not using the EasyKlips. I could see where maybe the EasyKlip would be more useful for an outdoor application where there is a lot of pressure applied to the clip, but that's just not my situation so I prefer the ease of attachment of the Tekton.

These are super handy for the farm, ranch, or out camping. I used a few of these on large tarps to help my Dad cover large Hay Stacks this past fall. We used the clips in areas where the rivets had torn out and they worked perfectly and have held in place this entire winter despite rain, wind, and 2 feet snow. He had me order another 8 for him because he liked them so much. I have several that I take camping with me, it makes tarping very easy. I highly recommend these.

Not enough holding strength

These clips are super helpful. I will use them in winterizing my small trailer (to attach a tarp), but mostly I use them in my weaving, to hold my selveges to the width of my reed (in place of a standard temple). The upside with the modest difficulty I have had opening the clips is that they have never slipped on me.

The clips seem like they would hold quite a bit and the design would tighten as the tarp pulls. But... the design of this made it awful to unclip. You have to slide the top in one direction and the bottom in another all while pushing down on the center clip. I used them to tie a garbage bag up and it was just simply a pain to use for this case as we had to unclip a few times a day.
