GripStic Bag Sealer - 12-Pack XLarge Reusable Bag Clips, Original Airtight & Waterproof Seal for Food Storage

After years of using rubber bands and office binder clips to seal my bags I switched to these. They're easy to use, seem to seal just as well if not better than my old way, and they store neater when not in use. I use them on bags of cereal, chips, frozen berries, frozen peas, refrigerated bags of salad etc... Pretty much everything now. My only complaint is you can't buy a pack of a single length, but instead have to get a combo pack (for now anyway). Once you get the big multi-pack and start using them, you get a sense of what your needs are. They're good but expensive, and I don't want to pay for a combo pack of 2 lengths when I only need more of one size. I almost knocked off a rating star for this, but really it's a very good product and it didn't seem right to give it a 4 because of packaging options.

Work great! Purchased for my chips and snacks. Wife now uses it to keep various items closed. Purchased more for wife and daughter who went off to college. Her roommates love them. Will be buying more

They might seem expensive but these little sticks are one of the best kitchen gadgets we've added to our home in the past 5-6 years and we use them every day. What makes them great: **Really tight seal for freshness **Compact - they fit in any drawer when not in use **There's no spring to wear out or get damaged by the cold temperature in the freezer **The sticks are extremely durable and long lasting - we've been using our first pack, daily, for over 5 years How they work: **You take the bag that you want to seal and make a crisp fold as close to the remaining product as possible (as opposed to rolling it up). **You slide the stick along the fold of the bag to seal it. There's a little tab separating the bottom skinny rod from the slightly wider cylinder shaped top. The bag goes in between. **That's it Ease of Use I admit there's a bit of learning curve the first time but once you get the hang of it you'll never go back to pressure clips and rolled up bags. Tips **If the bag has a folded vertical seam going down the back of the bag: you want to slide the stick over the fold so that the stick slides in the same direction of the fold. It's a little hard to explain but if you experience that fold bunching up in the stick: slide the stick over the bag from the opposite side and it'll work better. **You want a crisp fold that ideally goes horizontal across the bag. You may have to re-fold or re-crease the bag to prevent bunching. **These sticks even work on thick multi layered bags like ones used for pet food. Just be sure to get a nice clean crisp fold and it will work. **The sticks DO work on fabric and soft plastic bags (think plastic brown sugar bags) but you'll have to be more mindful as you slip the stick along the fold. A fabric bag that doesn't have any interfacing or stiffness will have a tendency to bunch up but with a little practice you'll have it working in no time. Recommendations: **Get a multi sized pack for your first purchase. These are so useful and versatile that you'll have no problem finding a use for all of them. **If you find you are using the sticks for long term use like we do on spice bags, flour bags, and large pet food bags: you will probably end up purchasing another pack. But start small. Just get a single multi-size pack first so you get a good idea of the sizes you use the most. You can always buy more packs at a later time.

We had previously purchased a longer version of these, and loved them. These smaller version are equally satisfying. We find them a very good method for closing up a wide variety of products, and would eagerly recommend them. A single call into their Customer Service suggests that is also a very good part of satisfaction with this product.

These are the best bag clips ever made. They are easy to use and protect product inside any package very well. I’ve been using these since they first came out several years ago and will never go back to any other type of bag clip!

Kind of awesome. A clip that doesn't break, OK, but the real value is in keeping stuff fresh. I had a open bag of tortilla chips, and used a Gripstic over 3 weeks ago. Just reopened, usually they are stale by now, and they seemed as fresh nearly as the day I opened them. Only negative is they are a bit of a pain to put on a 2nd time, you have to be careful especially with chip bags, or wrinkles make it difficult.

These keep chip bags well sealed. They're easy to use. Much better than clothespins.

These bag sealers are really good and make it very convenient to keep food bags closed and fresh. They’re simple to use, work quickly, and help reduce spills or stale snacks. They feel practical for everyday kitchen use and are easy to store. The only improvement would be if they came in a more neutral color, since that would make them blend in better and look a bit more minimal. Overall, a very useful kitchen tool.

First bought some years ago, and they still work perfectly. Bought more in the States .We wanted to get some different sizes for use in the freezer and found they were available on Amazon. They really are useful and keep bags closed and the contents fresh. A bit expensive but worth every penny. Fast delivery too.

Kind of pricey but DAAAAAYUM do they work. No negative aspects. Work like needed. Popcorn stays fresh. COffee is aromatic. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND because I love them so much.

Great product!

Artikel funktioniert top, jedoch ist der Preis schon ziemlich überteuert. Beim chinesischem Händler bekommt man einen entsprechenden Nachbau zu einem Bruchteil des preises. Mann muss aber auch dazu erwähnen, dass die Qualität beim Nachbau sehr schwankt.

They are great. They work on most bags and they really seal the bag. The only thing is that I find the shortest Gripsticks relatively useless. I would prefer receiving a package with none of them and another extra long one.
