Purchased in July 2025 42 clips I bought these stainless steel clothespins because the plastic ones I had were deteriorating and breaking due to the heat when I was hanging laundry. However, I found the grip on these stainless steel ones to be stiffer than the plastic ones, making them difficult for me to use, so I am selling them. I used them for about a week, and they are clean with no rust. I always stored them indoors after taking in the laundry. I bought them for just under 3000 yen.
