GripStic Bag Sealer - 12-Pack XLarge Reusable Bag Clips, Original Airtight & Waterproof Seal for Food Storage

These are so much better than typical clips. They seal bags securely and won’t accidentally get knocked off. They also allow more of the top of the bag to be cut off because you don’t have to save a bunch for folding like you do with standard clips. Sizes are also very functional. Loved them so much I bought a second set.

LOVE these! The New York Times Wirecutter recommend them, and I bought them during the Black Friday sales last year. There is a bit of a learning curve to use them, but once I figured it out, I was hooked. They work great on all sorts of things from open bags of frozen veggies or fruit to chip bags, cookie or cracker packages, any kind of package you can think of. They keep everything incredibly fresh. There are a variety of sizes which is super helpful. I love them so much I bought a second package during the Amazon summer sale and have gifted these as well!

They might seem expensive but these little sticks are one of the best kitchen gadgets we've added to our home in the past 5-6 years and we use them every day. What makes them great: **Really tight seal for freshness **Compact - they fit in any drawer when not in use **There's no spring to wear out or get damaged by the cold temperature in the freezer **The sticks are extremely durable and long lasting - we've been using our first pack, daily, for over 5 years How they work: **You take the bag that you want to seal and make a crisp fold as close to the remaining product as possible (as opposed to rolling it up). **You slide the stick along the fold of the bag to seal it. There's a little tab separating the bottom skinny rod from the slightly wider cylinder shaped top. The bag goes in between. **That's it Ease of Use I admit there's a bit of learning curve the first time but once you get the hang of it you'll never go back to pressure clips and rolled up bags. Tips **If the bag has a folded vertical seam going down the back of the bag: you want to slide the stick over the fold so that the stick slides in the same direction of the fold. It's a little hard to explain but if you experience that fold bunching up in the stick: slide the stick over the bag from the opposite side and it'll work better. **You want a crisp fold that ideally goes horizontal across the bag. You may have to re-fold or re-crease the bag to prevent bunching. **These sticks even work on thick multi layered bags like ones used for pet food. Just be sure to get a nice clean crisp fold and it will work. **The sticks DO work on fabric and soft plastic bags (think plastic brown sugar bags) but you'll have to be more mindful as you slip the stick along the fold. A fabric bag that doesn't have any interfacing or stiffness will have a tendency to bunch up but with a little practice you'll have it working in no time. Recommendations: **Get a multi sized pack for your first purchase. These are so useful and versatile that you'll have no problem finding a use for all of them. **If you find you are using the sticks for long term use like we do on spice bags, flour bags, and large pet food bags: you will probably end up purchasing another pack. But start small. Just get a single multi-size pack first so you get a good idea of the sizes you use the most. You can always buy more packs at a later time.

My father struggles with arthritis but never talks about it. Still, I notice him having a hard time pressing down the seal on ziplock bags. Clips are manageable for him, but he rarely rolls the bag up before clipping it, which results in a lackluster seal. Even I can't get a perfect seal on a bag of chips with a clip. These things are awesome. The seal they create is fantastic and airtight — I'm not sure how they'd do on an unusually thin packet, but I haven't come across anything they can't handle. The main benefit for me, though, was that my father picked these up instantly, and now every container in his kitchen is airtight. He even mentioned what a good idea they were, haha. They are a bit pricey, and knockoffs do exist, but these feel sturdy — BIFL, even. I'd gladly pay a bit more to keep this company producing them. The colors are... interesting, but they fit fine in a kitchen environment. They do stand out if you use them for miscellaneous bags around the house, so keep that in mind if you're looking to neaten things up.

Love these. They can be tricky at first. Pick the right size, fold the bag tightly and make a crease, then the inner stick will slide under as the tube slides over the fold of the bag. Sometimes I’ll fold twice is packaging is thin

These “gripstics” are one of the cleverest little kitchen inventions I have ever seen. Fold a bag over(sugar, rice, candies, chips, spices, anything whatsoever), squeeze the air out of the bag, slide the gripstic on. Voila, you’ve sealed the bag for pantry storage. Pull the gripstic in the other direction and your product is open and ready to use. So easy and Works so much better than the various types of clips that have been around for years because it seals the entire top of the bag if you use the right size. The variety of sizes in this set is excellent. I have not tried using this product with liquids and don’t know if the gripstics are recommended for liquid.

These bag sealers took a minute to figure out, but once you do, there is no looking back. You'll go in search of bags to seal. The variety of sizes was cool, as you can assess your household needs for one size or another. Does it work? Oh, yes--perfectly. Keeps the contents fresh because you place the rod close to the top of the contents--less room for air in the bag. This is an ingeniously simple but effective gadget that works and is easy to store.

These things are great. I get them for every one. I use them on chip and frozen fruit and veg.

First bought some years ago, and they still work perfectly. Bought more in the States .We wanted to get some different sizes for use in the freezer and found they were available on Amazon. They really are useful and keep bags closed and the contents fresh. A bit expensive but worth every penny. Fast delivery too.

Kind of pricey but DAAAAAYUM do they work. No negative aspects. Work like needed. Popcorn stays fresh. COffee is aromatic. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND because I love them so much.

Great product!

Artikel funktioniert top, jedoch ist der Preis schon ziemlich überteuert. Beim chinesischem Händler bekommt man einen entsprechenden Nachbau zu einem Bruchteil des preises. Mann muss aber auch dazu erwähnen, dass die Qualität beim Nachbau sehr schwankt.

i have this product in several sizes. It is potentially difficult to use but once you catch on it is an amazing product. Just remember to fold the package down and crease it firmly if you are having difficulty. I use it for many things and haven't had it fail to hold the seal yet.
