ACCO Brands Solid Brass Fasteners, 1 1/4 Inch Capacity, 100 Count, (A7071505)

This was once a glowing 5-star review. No issues with the quality or its durability. But the cost went up 101% since 2024. I've purchased this item 44 times in the last 2 years. December 2024 I Paid $26.91. December 6, 2025: $52.74. So long, ACCO.

Good product, did the job

Having purchased some generic brass fasteners (which were not what I'd consider cheap price wise) from OfficeMax, I was worried that perhaps these would be a similar inadequate product. Not so. These Acco are indeed a quality product. They feature a better quality of brass, not so thin as to be fragile, and with a significantly larger head that truly secures the paper without receding into the punched holes. It doesn't surprise me these are considered industry standard for screenplays. Are there other brands as good? Maybe... but these do the job and aren't too pricey. One can only hope the manufacturer doesn't start to skimp, as whoever makes the OfficeMax ones seems to have done. Those are useless, these are great. Maybe get yourself a few boxes just in case. Also the slightly shorter legs leave less excess once you bend them out, without being too short.

I ordered and returned some other brass fasteners that were cheap and flimsy. These are the real deal and make the right impression if you're a writer.

You know, you never complain when you get the best. These are perfect for screenplays. They are substantial and they won't slip through the 3-punched holes. Go with the best and never regret it.
