Q. What are metal clips used for?

Answer

A clip is a tiny piece of hardware, usually metal or plastic, with a unique shape designed to fasten two items together. Whether a user calls it a clasp, catch, latch, clamp, or spring clip, manufacturers have the right solution for a user. Metal clips of every description are mass-produced, including money clips, belt clips, and fasteners. Clips can accommodate metal gauges as low as 26 gauge and as high as 18 gauge, depending on the panel system being used. Alternatively, two-part clip systems may use clips of varying gauges.
