Why go specialty?

Submitted by Sabrina on September 10, 2007 - 08:36.

I'm a firm advocate of the extended uses for clothes pins and binder clips! We already use several of these applications here at home. Why buy special tools, when these already-in-the-house tools work just fine? I find the "chip clip" to be large and bulky to store, for example, so why store one? I've used one or both of these in the garden (not directly on plants, of course), in the car to keep things in place, etc. I've even attached a note to our dog's collar with a binder clip and sent him off to fetch his 'Dad' from the garage! The point here is: never understimate humble tools...specifically, binder clips and clothes pins.
