THE GRIPSTIC® 3 Pack 185 225 285 Review

Many years ago (about 6 years) we bought such a set for the first time at a home fair in Indianapolis. We have nothing to say about her except the beautiful. So we bought more from Revain. We are glad that this company came up with this great invention. It's totally worth it.

Having previously purchased a non-genuine decal I can now compare this genuine to cheaper versions. The main difference is that they are thicker so heavier bags are not an issue. I prefer their minimal presence over bulky clip-on clips and they stay in place to keep my closets looking cleaner.

Gripstic isn't really a clip. This is a smart and easy to use bag closure slider that works way better than any bag clip. The clasp is very good and stays in place well, unlike many typical pocket clips. The three packs hold 3 different sizes so they can be used for different width bags. The Gripstic does a great job of sealing potato chip bags or other snack bags, bread bags, cracker bags or biscuits and at our house an oatmeal bag. Everyone in our family loves them.

When I looked at these things I thought they looked stupid. I thought they couldn't work. But it makes more sense once you see how it fits. You fold the bag and insert that crease between the yellow piece and the colored plastic sleeve. It makes a pretty tight seal. The result is similar to a Ziploc package. However, do not try to use it on fragile plastic bags. Unless it's a bag that can already give you a nice crease like any bag of chips, it won't help.

Loved using them and would definitely buy them again (I lost the last set packing and unpacking) if it weren't for the ridiculous price. Each probably costs 5 cents to make. Preparing for a trip recently, I had a couple of bags that needed sealing for little more than the zip top lids built into grocery bags and would happily use them if they were reasonably priced. Instead, I bought 24 heavy duty paper clips for a total of $2. Price them sensibly and you'll get a customer back.

At 70, I know the importance of keeping my snacks fresh because it takes me longer to eat them. I got my first joystick for free when I opened a checking account 2 years ago, but it didn't have a brand on it. It took me a very long time to find them online. Lots of substitutes. You can put them on any container that can be folded once. Even a zip lock plastic bag! They are the best. Keeps fresh for a week. Continuous. DW is safe. Someone said if I put them in slices in the fridge they last…

The kitchen gadget you never knew you had. They are awesome, easy to use, durable. The set of three consists of a small, medium and large Gripstic. The small ones (purple) are perfect for 1 pound bags of dry beans, rice or frozen veggies. Medium (orange) is the right size for chips and cereal bags (as long as you only open the corner of the cereal bag, don't open the entire lid like a monster). The large (green) one is good for those monsters in the hall opening a whole bag of cereal, or for…
