Charles Leonard Loose Leaf Rings with Snap Closure, Nickel Plated, 2 Inch Diameter, Silver, 50/Box (R-59)

Theses worked great!

The media could not be loaded.  Product is very sturdy and worth the money but i would definitely suggest getting a bigger size as the 1/2 inch is pretty difficult too open

I use these for flash card decks and out of the pack of 50, only one was bent and unusable. The rest are in great shape. They do exactly what they're supposed to. They're sturdy but not so much that they're difficult to open. The colors are fun, though whatever paint is on them seems to have chipped off in tiny spots on a couple rings, but they're so small it's hardly noticeable.Just make sure you understand the size of the ones you're ordering. I ordered the 1in rings, and a lot of bad reviews are people not realizing the .5inch rings are so small.

Not the sharp pinching sensation but more of a deep needling pain when attaching them.....hurts so good.

These small binder rings are great. They all work fine. Many people seem to have trouble opening them. That is probably because they are not using the correct technique to open the rings. If you just tug on a ring at the joinder area in an effort to pull it apart, you will often fail because that is the worst, most ineffective way to open a ring.What you need to do is push the ends of the joinder area of the ring apart and, when the ends disengage slightly, then pull the ends apart to separate them. Applying the right amount of end-separation pressure and then switching the direction of pull to move the ring sections apart may be a little tricky at first, sort of like walking and chewing gum simultaneously, but trust me, you should have sufficient dexterity to master this movement. Just be careful. Don't push the joinder ends too far apart or you will damage the ring. If you use this method, you should be able to easily open all rings without much effort. But, if you just jerk on the opposing sides of a ring without first disengaging the joinder ends, you will fail to open many rings and you may even damage the rings you do open.Also, if the segments of a ring don't connect tightly together, then flex the rings slightly to create a tighter fit. This is an easy fix for a loose connection.Last, there seems to be considerable confusion regarding the size of these rings. I have attached a picture that provides the size information. In short, the inside diameter of the ring is .625 inches. This is 5/8 of an inch. The outside diameter of the ring is .75 or 3/4 of an inch. Some people seem concerned about the bulge on the ring. This bulge adds only 1/32 inch (.03125 inch) to the outside diameter and reduces the inside diameter by 1/32 inch as well. This slight difference should generally be irrelevant to the operation of this small ring. Finally, the material of the ring is 1/16 inch (.0625 inch) thick.So, the ring is slightly larger (.625 inch) than its advertised inside diameter (.5 inch), but I think this difference is too small to be problematic. Bottom line, the rings are fine, they are well-made and they should work well for you if you follow the use instructions of this post.

This product is very handy at connecting items to students desks

While I haven't tried all the clips the bag came torn, however all 50 clips were still in the bag. They are very hard to open but I can think of a few good uses for these if they hold up. As I outline a writing project I like to use index cards and this is a cute way to keep all the cards together as one. The other use I'm going to test is I have draw-back curtains and have issues getting the string to stay on the command strip so I thought starting tomorrow is I could clip the string in the circle clip and just clip the ring to strip. I hope it works....the only issue I may have is they are hard to open and may not be very convenient to use in that manner. But for under 7 dollars these little clips don't seem too bad. And if they weren't hard to open I'd probably complain they didn't hold shut tight so that's one way to think of it.

The colors were bright like the picture but some of the colors were not metallic.

I was not impressed with these binder rings. They were extremely difficult to open and the first one I managed to open the hinge pin bent so it would not close again. Once you have opened them the first time, they do work ok. I don’t think I would buy them again, I thought they were a bit pricey for the quality.

La bolsa llegó con 44 piezas, y no 50pz como dice la descripción del producto.Se nota un punto de color plateado, en cada argolla porque al parecer de ahí las sujetan para pintarlas de diferente color.Casi la mitad de las argollas cuesta trabajo abrirlas.

Product arrived pretty on time, which I feel thankful to the seller due to current situation.The colours are nice, true to the pictures.However, the quality is not good; the first 3 rings, they either won't open or won't close. ---not good experience.Hope seller can pass on the feedback to manufacturers so as to provide better quality product to customers.Best regards,

Son 50 anillos de una pulg o sea 2.5 cm, surtidos en color metálico, mejor precio que otros en su categoría, fáciles de usar (una vez que se entiende cómo), llegan muy rápido. No he probado su resistencia porque apenas los adquirí, al momento estoy muy satisfecha.

Depois que se descobre como abrir ele é uma maravilha. Uma dica para não fazerem como eu, o fecho não é onde tem um pino, é do lado oposto.
