bulldog clips

Strong document clamps

Bulldog clips are strong metal clips with two flat handles that fold back, used to grip thick stacks of paper.

The spring-loaded jaws hold documents more securely than standard paper clips.

The name comes from their resemblance to a bulldog's tenacious bite.

Also called binder clips in American English.
