You could come to the end of a long and satisfying life without ever having had occasion to use 500 jumbo paper clips. Still, there’s some merit in eliminating the tiny tragedy of not having paper clips when you need them before it strikes. If you subscribe to this line of thinking (which in this reviewer’s rigid little brain, also pertains to rubber bands, pencils, staples, and mealworms), then you’ll like this Staples product. The handy container is far from bulletproof, but place it in an unstressed corner of your office and it’ll do fine.

Note that the sizes do not vary. All are ‘jumbo’ clips. Only the color varies. Grouped into their respective little triangles in the container are vinyl-coated blue, yellow, red, green, and black clips; plus one set of un-coated clips. Is it worth $9.49 to make sure you’ll always have a paper clip when you need one? Your call. It works for me.
