    Interesting use for Binder clips

    I was getting really fed up of the cables for my phone charger and steering wheel power sliding off the back of my desk when they were unplugged.

    Then my wife found this little idea on pintrest:



    Works perfect

    Brilliant idea! I'm going to use this idea to sort out my TV cables.

    What size of clips do up think they are? 19mm?

    Re: Interesting use for Binder clips

    well you would use whatever size you needed for the size of cable you have.

    The ones in my picture above are 19mm wide but I also use some that are 25mm wide on a slightly thicker cable.

    I would assume for TV cables you would probably need the larger sizes so the press bars are wide enough to pass the cables through.

    ---edit---

    Right after typing that I checked

    a HDMI cable will go through the presser bar of a 19mm clip fine

    Nice one. Thanks! I didn't have any of these clips to hand so I was looking to buy some off the net. Hence why I needed to know the size! It's a genius idea!
