Clothes pegs...

prowla

I need some new clothes pegs for my washing line.


I bought some which looked rather swanky, but they only lasted a month before they started breaking (just pushing the ends together to open the jaws and they'd shatter), so they're a dead-loss.


So, where can I get some good ones?


(I do just leave them on the line.)

Plastic ones will become brittle and break being left outside.

Wooden ones will have the metal spring rust and break being left outside.

Supermarkets, poundshops and ebay for your replacements but buy a peg bag and keep them inside your home when not in use.

We use these, absolutely brilliant.

Get old-fashioned wooden ones. Places like B&M and Poundstretchers usually have them.

Well, the old plastic ones I've had for years are back in use now; they seem to be better than the new ones (I've just put out a line of washing and the penultimate one snapped.)

Bought our last ones from Morrisons about six years ago(plastic), have had a couple of them break/split just recently. I guess six years insn't bad though.

I use Henry Berry & Dairy extreme clothes pegs as they are probably the best, and come in beautiful colours, but they are probably also the most ridiculously expensive.
However, if you live on top of the windiest hill or on a seaside cliff edge and want them to last for the rest of your life, these are the ones to get!

Otherwise, I'd just get wooden ones and keep replacing them.
As mentioned, plastic ones just get brittle in the sun and they're so irritating when they shatter everywhere as you're trying to use them.

They look good...


On ebay: $24.90 + $12.8 shipping, or just under £30 for 20.


On Amazon: £117.66 for 18.


Yikes!

I would also give Wilko,s a second nomination,the soft grip ones that do not crease the clothes so much

Does that include the duty / tax / handling?

Since theyre made in Italy there should be an EU source youd think
