Lo barato 3 veces caroSí, lo intenté. Pero no use material barato o la acción del resorte no será suficiente para permanecer en el mamparo.
I've had the same issue - randomly. Some clips stay fixed, others spring apart. But once they're in they stay put.I tried it and couldn't get the extra lever thing to stay in the clamp. Every time I opened the clamp the extra lever would jump out. Must have been the brand of clips I was trying.
I've used that method. It works.Has anyone tried this method for hull plank clips? Remove handles from a spring clip and insert it into a different spring clip. Seems pretty ingenious. Thoughts?

This is a good idea. Thanks for sharing.I, too, use these clips - But I glue in small strips of wood of various lengths instead of the odd"handles". There are times a short one works better and some times a longer one does.

Good idea. It also means you're less likely to make an indentation in the wood, which might be the case with the wire clips being applied to hold the pressure on the plank. Better still might be to put an Idea cutting board to use and cut it in thin strips. That should also work okay, and less likely to accidentally bond to the plank. The downside would be having to use epoxy to hold the strip in the clips, and then you'd be permanently in possession of a given length of handle for that clip.I, too, use these clips - But I glue in small strips of wood of various lengths instead of the odd"handles".

Excellent solution that solves the problem of metal handle shooting across the room just as you are preparing to apply the clamp.I, too, use these clips - But I glue in small strips of wood of various lengths instead of the odd"handles".
