Advantus 1500 Grip-A-Strip Display Rail, 9 x 1 1/2, Aluminum Finish

Easy to use and proves to be very functional for me at my desk. First saw them in use at work and told myself I needed them for home as well.

Use this in my office to hold my day's to-do list. Works perfectly now that I figured out how to release the paper once it is in place. Just pull the paper towards you and the ceiling at the same time, it pops right out.

These work well for their intended purpose, but there are a few niggles that keep it from getting 5 stars.The corners are a little ragged. When mounting them you can get a scratch or catch the fabric of a shirt or something if you aren't mindful.The rollers have some gaps, so small pieces of paper need to be positioned carefully to ensure they snag on a roller. For example don't get this to hang a strip of fortune cookie fortunes or phone number tear offs.Also, we wanted to cross an 18" gap inside a cabinet door with one of these for school notes and reminders. They only came in 9", 12", and 24" and larger that we could find. It would be nice if there was an 18" size.We settled on getting 2x9" ones, but they wouldn't fit as delivered. Each was actually closer to 9 1/8". We were able to pop off two end caps (the bar is just a cut aluminum piece with a black plastic cap on each end, with rollers inside to wedge the papers) and squeeze it into our space. Probably would have been better off getting a larger size and cutting it down to fit with a hacksaw, then re-seating the black cap on the cut end, but I wasn't sure that would be possible by looking at the pictures before I ordered.

Pages insert easily, and extraction is just as easy. I like the fact that the ends are "open", so that wider (or multiple) sheets can be inserted.We used this in our kitchen on an upper cabinet door to hold recipe sheets (we keep our recipes in a 3-ring binder), and it works great.We also put one on the inside of a cabinet door to hang a shopping list; to keep track as we run low, or out, of items in our pantry.

Although I wasn't sure that the supplied two sided tape would last and drilled two holes to fasten the rail to a piece of wood.Pull down straight and the paper won't come out, pull out and it releases with no force, most surprisingly it is easy to insert a single sheet of paper.Very neat.

This neat bar holds notices and announcements securely without messy tacks. Use them everywhere to eliminate messy tape and tacks!

too small to do anything with. not what I expected. must have misread the description.

I've seen this roller concept before but only in a 'give-a-way' freebee deal. I kinda used this as a raw material for an approach plate holder for aviation use. Need was to be able to put charts in and out with one hand while flying with the other. Works great!
