Giant "Chip Clip" Helps Carry Big Bags
The Handy Camel clip is one of those “Why didn’t I think of that?” ideas. The heavy-duty clasp looks like a giant version of clips used to close bags of potato chips. A handyman who needed a way to reseal open bags of cement invented the bag clip in Germany. Tom Gray brought the product to the U.S. and is manufacturing it in Kansas City, Mo., to hit the market in May.
“We’ve had a huge interest from big farm stores,” Gray says. The clip is made from UV-stabilized, heavy-duty polypropylene. It slides on the bag and closes with a ratchet system. Click it once for thick paper bags and three times on thin bags, Gray explains.
“One size fits all, and it won’t tear or destroy the bag,” he adds. “It can be used to carry up to 40 lbs. and can be attached at an angle to create a pour spout.”
People who order from the website can buy three ($14.95 each, plus shipping) and get the fourth one free.
