My Review 

Found a really neat clip at the hardware store. It's an electrical clip like a gator clip but has no teeth so it doesn't dent the paper and really small too! Didn't cost much at all and had many different sizes. I found it at Ace hardware in the bin section. In my store anyway.

What I Use This Tool For 

Holding the tabs on corners of really small boxes.

How It Saves My Time 

Don't have to hold the item while waiting for the glue to hold.

Where You Might Find One 

I got mine at an Ace hardware store in the electrical section. Also look in the bins for small wooden items. Found some wood plugs that were really small.

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

Yes

I'm going to have to watch for these, anything that will get into the corners of small printables to hold the tabs in place would be great!
