Q-Connect Binding Ring 19mm (100 Pack)

Like many others I found these impossible to open by hand. However I used physics. I put the ring over the top of some pliers and opened the pliers which provided enough force to open the rings. But you must be very careful not to forget to put any papers in before you close the rings as it will be much harder to use this method once papers are in there. For this reason I would not recommend this product if you need to repeatedly open the rings.

I buy these time and time again and always give an excellent review as they are perfect for what I need them for. I make laminated display pages and clip them together with these binding rings. The rings are light but strong and because I work with children with special needs, it makes it easy for them to turn the pages.

Some of these are virtually impossible to open and don't fit together very well. Good enough for the job but have around 20 that I have not been able to use, hence only giving it three stars.

I bought these in conjunction with  Blank Flash Cards (Quickstudy (Flash Cards)) , and they work really well. The mechanism can be a tad fiddly but once clipped on, they hold the flashcards together really well. They also work for clipping documents together but I found that the paper was damaged a bit more easily. I would certainly recommend for flash cards or similar.

I've bought 200 of these for a huge crafting project. Alas. They are useless. I can't open them. I suppose that makes them good in a way. But only once they are connected to whatever they have been connected to. ! I am not a weakling by any stretch of the imagination. But my fingers are really hurting and not one opened yet. So disappointed not least because actually they are expensive.Suggestions on a postcard please!

I love these kinds of rings, but will definately not buy from this brand again. 62/100 of the ones I bought was so hard/stiff thqt they can't be used. 58 of them was so hard that they simply couldn't be opened. I managed to open 3 by force, but closing them was impossible. One was so loose that it just continously fell apart. Only 38/100 can actually be used.

Good product, fast delivery provided and holds papers well. Some binder rings were quite stiff to open and close but overall a good product. I got exactly 100 rings so I'm pleased. I would recommend these to people who would find this useful to form a booklet of printed papers to read with ease. I find it is better than using staples.

All 100 rings received and although a couple were a bit stiffer than others they all worked fine. Only minor issue is that the box was flattened, presumably to keep the postage costs down, unable to reshape it and therefore had to find something else to store the rings in.
