You use a paper hole punch to punch a hole in several papers. Then you put the tines through the hole, and then bend them in opposite directions fastening the papers together. Old manilla envelopes have then built into the envelope to keep the flap shut.
There were binders that had these sort of things built in that could hold a lot of paper with a long metal band.
Really useful for shimming door latches.
We called those duotangs.
Brad Duotang was so hot when I was in school.
Lol at Mr Fancy pants over here with a hole puncher! We used to just shove 'em through.
Definately an option. Hard when there's more than like 5 pieces of paper.
We called them brads
That's just their slang name. Their full scientific name is bradley.
Who the fuck is Brad?
Hello
That’s just Brady Aychdee
brass fastener / split pin (wiki link)
They can be used in place of staples or treasury tags to join paperwork together, but they're mainly for making things where cardboard needs to rotate on some other cardboard, like cool 2D puppets or secret-code-wheels or toy clocks or whatever.
Paper rivets, maybe?
More or less. Nominally they were for quickly binding paper that had been through a 2- or 3-hole punch.
Really, they were for making badass clocks in kindergarten.
Technically, the paper doesn't need to have been punched, that's why they're pointy. You can just jam them through the paper and open the veins.
That's just reckless! You're a maverick who doesn't play by the rules! I'm too old for this shit!
I actually do think the point is there more as an alignment guide for a potentially sloppy stack of punched paper (see also the manila envelopes with brads built in), but I would be lying if I said I never skipped the hole punch when it was just a couple of sheets.
Yeah, decoder wheels and shit.
These are for keeping your 200 page film script together as you shove it through the crack of the rapidly rolling-up window of a hollywood producers car.
Another kind of paperclip.
To add to what others are saying, you stick this through the corner of a stack of papers, and it then acts as a hinge so you can swivel the top half of the stack to expose a lower page, whilst still holding the whole stack together.
It's in the same family as staples and those H-shaped string things.
That ones called a string tag but theyre quite rare nowadays.
I have a theory that 4 out of 5 people on the Internet who use "whilst" are Americans who think it makes them look smarter, rather than Brits who grew up using it as convention.
Which are you?
Ewwww
I only remember using these in school to connect two pieces of paper together to make shit like cardboard skeletons.
Pins that teach curious children about the dangers of electrical sockets…
Learn by doing
They are for putting sheets of paper together like staples I think
Dang I can confidently say that I haven't seen one of these since grade school
Those are sounding brads, to hear you scream when you can't remove them from your urethra..
That is what rich people are talking about when they refer to cuff links. They are fancy jewelry that keeps your sleeves closed after you cut a slot in them to fit your beefy hands through but don't use elastics or wizard sleeves.
ah, thats what you get for defeating Inner Agent 3
One day...
Puppet pin, for making puppets.
Split pins.
For splitting.
Cotter pins?
