ANDUSTRIAL - Large Wire-Back Alligator Rug Clips for Displaying Heavy and Thick Rugs On 5/8 Inch Flat Bars - Silver, 10 Clips

I am using a spare bedroom as a recording studio / video teleconference room, and I really needed to knock down a ton of reverb and echo. I decided I could do it most efficiently by hanging a 5' x 7' deep-pile carpet on the wall behind me. I bought a carpet advertised as weighing 26 pounds, but when it arrived, it actually weighed nearly twice that. These clips were not daunted in the least. I mounted a well-braced curtain rod on the wall and hung the carpet by putting these clips on one edge of the carpet and hanging the back part over the rod. The clips work brilliantly. They are not overly difficult to pry open. The opening between the "jaws" is enough to readily work with. When you clamp the cover down, they really hold; and true to the advertising, I cannot observe them harming the carpet in any way. (I'm not very handy, so when I accidentally hung the carpet upside down, I got plenty of opportunity to observe how the clips worked as I undid and redid the whole project!) I'm impressed as heck at the beefy strength of the clips: even when the stress on them was twice what I expected, they took it in stride. Not bad looking, either!

Better than I imagined. Definitely recommend. Would buy again if needed additional clips, but seems these will last for a very very long time.

holds up in the rain

Solid construction, well designed and well made. Able to handle my wall carpet with two clips - the attached photo shows four. If I had to nit-pick I would add that the mounting flange for the one-inch dowel is slightly larger than one-inch. The well placed slots and screw holes make up for this giving a solid mount.

It really liked the product and in fact I will re-order it again because I will need more.

I needed a clip attach a serape to a heavy duty bungee cord the prevent movement. This Heavy Duty Large Alligator clip exceeded my requirements.

worked great

Very solid clips - easy to use .... perfect

good quality product, the edges are properly shaved and its not sharp like other products out there to damage your carpet. The clips are smaller than the picture and i was expecting them to be a bit bigger but overall i am satisfied with this product and it did the job for me.
