These pants hangers are very useful. The clips are strong and the 12" width means they cover pretty much all pants. I fold my pants and clip them on the fold. With these I have been able to organize my closet so much better than before. The clips swivel on the bar. The bar is strong and stiff. It holds onto the hook with a strong clip. The hooks are made of the same strong steel. They will not snap from just the weight of pants. I purchased more of these because I was impressed enough with the first ones. When shopping I picked the ones that looked strong and were large enough. These are also very economical when purchased in packs of 20.
