Product Information
Full details
The B&Q Tool Storage Spring Terry Clips are designed for individuals and professionals seeking an effective and durable way to organize cables, hoses, and tools in workshops, garages, or general storage areas. Their primary benefit is providing a secure, spring-loaded grip to keep items neatly arranged and easily accessible. A potential consideration is that they are best suited for items with a diameter up to 38mm, so very large or small items may require alternative solutions. This pack of 12 offers a cost-effective way to manage multiple organizational needs with their bright zinc-plated finish ensuring corrosion resistance.

FAQs
What is the internal diameter of these clips?
The internal diameter of each clip is approximately 1 1/2 inches (38mm) when closed, and it opens wider to accommodate items for clipping.
How many clips are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 12 spring terry clips.
Can these clips be used outdoors?
Yes, the bright zinc plating provides good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for outdoor use in garages or workshops, provided they are not constantly exposed to harsh weather conditions.
What types of items can these clips hold?
They are ideal for organizing cables, hoses, small pipes, and tool handles that fit within the 38mm diameter.
Are these clips stackable or mountable?
The clips themselves are designed to be attached to surfaces like shelves or pegboards by sliding them onto an edge. They are not inherently stackable for storage.
How do I clean the clips?
Wipe them with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or strong chemicals to preserve the zinc plating.
Troubleshooting
Clip does not grip the item securely
Ensure the item's diameter is within the 38mm limit. Check if the item is too flexible or smooth; a slightly rougher surface may offer better grip. Ensure the clip is fully open before inserting the item.
Spring mechanism feels stiff or difficult to open
Gently flex the clip back and forth to loosen the spring. Clean any visible dirt or debris from the hinge and spring area. If persistent, try a light application of a dry lubricant designed for metal parts.
Corrosion visible on the clips
While BZP offers good resistance, extreme moisture or exposure to corrosive substances can affect the plating. Clean the affected area gently and ensure the clips are stored in a dry environment when not in use. Replace heavily corroded clips to prevent staining other items.
Pros and Cons

- Durable bright zinc plating resists corrosion.
- Strong spring mechanism provides a secure hold.
- Pack of 12 offers good value for multiple organizational needs.
- Versatile for various items like cables, hoses, and tools.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These clips require no tools for application. Simply open the clip by squeezing the two ends apart and place the item you wish to secure within the internal diameter. Release the ends, and the spring mechanism will clamp the item in place. They can be attached to shelves, pegboards, or any suitable surface by sliding them onto the edge or by using a mounting system if available (not included with clips).
Compatibility: The clips are designed to hold items with an external diameter up to 38mm. They are compatible with a wide range of hoses, cables, and cylindrical tool handles. They are best suited for rigid or semi-rigid items that can withstand the pressure of the spring clamp without damage.
Care: To maintain their performance, clean the clips periodically with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the bright zinc plating. Ensure the spring mechanism remains free of dirt and grit to operate smoothly.
