I don't really use this like many would expect, I was looking for a flexible clamp to tuck my 4 step folded stool on the wall under the rail Easy access for me , easy to get and it does the trick! I use it as a large elastic on a chair and railings so I don't fall on anyone. And I can easily get out to use it. Now I'm 70 so I need easy access to everything but I don't want to make something like this publicly available. Ideal! Very well made and durable. I was going to attach it to the wall but there are no bolts at the bottom of the stairs and I don't want to use anchors. So this still works for me, but I like that it can be pinned if I want it in the future. Good price.
