Bamboo Clothes Pegs, Pack of 20

Unfortunately because I'm an old fella the strength of these pegs makes them very difficult to squeeze fully open.They need to be a little longer ( like my older ones ) to give more leverage. Otherwise, they are a good product.

Nice strong pegs but hard to open....hoping they will loosen up over time.

These pegs feel well made and the grip strength is excellent. Unfortunately they're let down by one major issue: They really need to be a little longer, with more area to grip and create leverage above the pivot point. They're especially short pegs, where you don't have much more than the width of a finger to grip above the spring to remove them, and the smooth bamboo plus the strong grip makes them unusually difficult to use. Someone else suggests adding a couple of grooves on the outside for better grip, and I'm sure that would help also.

Every bit of criticism in the reviews so far could be remedied just by making the top of the pegs about 1cm longer.
