Dishmatic Essentials 48 Strong Hurricane Force Grip Clothes Pegs made of Recycled Plastic (2 packs of 24) - NOT SOLD BY CARASELLE

I can't describe how impressed I am with this, a humble, unsexy peg. I thought the 'storm force' part was just marketing. It's not. I will elaborate some more about their toughness in a moment. The peg itself is pretty straight forward; plastic, with a few choices of notches and depending upon the thickness of the item you are trying to put up, will determine what notch you use. They are made in one mould, so no pieces liable to rust staining your best white top! And hopefully less things to go wrong. But before I tell you how awesome they are, I will start with the downside. They do not spring back into shape quickly. Which means, if you've been pegging up something thick, when you un-peg the peg itself will not stay on the line because it's stretched, and then falls to the ground. It does go back to it's shape eventually – about 30 minutes I think. But if like me, you put pegs straight back on the line rather than in a storage thingymajig, they end up all over. To put back on the line you have to push down hardish onto the smallest notch and even then it can still fall off. This slowness to spring back into shape is the compromise between pegs that don't rust, can withstand high winds and price point. I take these storm force pegs! But, let me convey the awesomeness of these humble pegs. When I bought these, I was just looking for cheap pegs that didn't go mouldy or rusty like traditional wood ones. The 'storm force' part did register in my mind, but I just thought 'meh'. I was so wrong. I live right by the coast, on the west side of the UK. So, storms and prevailing winds are a daily part of life. In these parts anything under 20mph doesn't really raise an eyebrow. 20/25mph winds and we have a 'light breeze'. I've used these pegs during the stormiest parts of the year, late summer, autumn and early spring. To date I think we have had over twenty 50/60mph storms, with gusts reaching 90mph. My washing stayed on the line. A bit tangled up, but on the line none the less. This is how awesome these pegs are. I watched Neptune throw waves to colossal heights, and everything within half a mile radius of the coast being sandblasted, but my washing stayed on my line! Branches fell, bin lids blew off, coastline eroded, but my washing wasn't budging. Why do I leave my washing on the line whilst a storm is in progress? It dries my cloth super quick! Admittedly I did triple peg the heavier items, but it stayed on the line. And you really do have to push these pegs down to their smallest notch. But I am very impressed.

After many years of buying rubbish cheapo clothes pegs that discolour, go rusty, snap or fly off the washing line at random I decided to search Amazon and thought I'd give these a go! These Eco pegs are a one piece recycled plastic unit, so no springs, weak points or wood involved here. Many peg boffins have spent sleepless nights designing and testing these lemon and lime green blighters by the looks of things. They're great to use with a pretty strong grip indeed and so hold your whiter than whites, bath towels and lacy knickers securely even in a very stiff breeze! The lemon ones have a better grip than the green as they are slightly different due to two tiny pinchers where they peg onto the line. I would imagine these are for finer material to keep it held firmly and the green for thicker things like bath towels and such(see pic upload). I can see these lasting for years as they're virtually indestructible so a good investment! These superpegs are also British designed and manufactured, good show! Think I'll buy my sis some for her birthday, she'll love em! Highly recommended.

These are the only pegs I’ve used that keep washing in place regardless of whether it’s thick jeans or a fine petticoat I first bought these in 2014 and have just bought my fifth bag to replace lost and worn out pegs so was a bit disappointed that for the first time there were several damaged pegs in the bag - I did manage to repair them with a pair of pliers but really they should be checked before being packaged.

I have been using these pegs every week (and often a few times a week) for just short of twenty weeks so far. The two bags of pegs that I bought worked out at less than 8p (7.854p) per peg. So they are cheap – but they are not cheap quality. I bought three types of pegs at the time: the Ecoforce of this review, some large pine wooden spring type pegs which I found to be very poor, and some Brabantia pegs which are very good but are expensive. It is the Ecoforce pegs that are used the most, though admittedly for some very heavy thick items like duvets the Brabantia are sometimes preferable. These Ecoforce pegs give a choice of two positions to peg the washing out with. For thinner items if you push the peg further onto the line, a smaller “opening” fastens the washing whereas for thicker items a larger “opening” can be used. Actually either can be used for thin items although they may then slide up or down the line if the smaller “opening” is not used. I have had washing pegged out in fairly strong winds including things like bath mats and the washing has all stayed put. Now I’m not saying there isn’t better out there somewhere, but you don’t need a sledge hammer to crack a nut and these are more than adequate for the vast majority of washing whether blankets, towels, jeans, or light stuff like underwear or thin shirts etc. So to sum up: after a good road test I would say that for a few pennies each these are just the job and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy them again.

Whilst I haven't tested these in a hurricane, I do live in Bolton so it does get a bit windy on occasion. These pegs hold clothes on the line no problem - from the smallest item of baby clothes to bedsheets and towels. As they are one piece you don't have to worry about the hinge bit breaking, and the plastic is very good quality so no need to fear the stabbing of broken plastic as you get the washing out. I suspect that in a hurricane the line itself would disappear in a gust of wind, and some lucky people would have a clothes line full of clothes deposited in their garden - though that would be my own fault for putting the washing out when there is a hurricane forecasted.

Super couleur. Elles me paraissent solides. Et elles tiennent super bien sans pour autant marquer le linge. Le jardin est en plein vent mais tout a bien tenu ! Ravie de mon achat!

Piccole e con un'apertura limitata. Non le ricomprerei.

Bonnes épingles qui remplissent très bien leur rôle. Le plus: elles sont recyclées, un bon point pour l'écologie et les couleurs sont sympas.

Ces pinces à linges sont correctes, le design est sympa mais certaines se sont abimés sans utilisation sortant de l'ordinaire.

Je vais énumérer les points positifs (+) et négatifs (-) que j'ai pu remarquer durant mon utilisation du produit : * Réception du colis et packaging : + Durée de la livraison respecté . + Produit bien emballé et intact . *Contenu du colis : 48 Pinces à linge *Design : Vertes et jaunes elles sont sympas *Points positifs et négatifs : + Un grand nombre de pinces à linge + Une jolie couleur - Fragile - Une prise très moyenne *Conclusion : je recommande pas forcément ce produit Si mon commentaire vous a été utile n'hésitez pas à cliquer sur "oui" merci .
