I found these clips on amazon. And they are working great for my tomatoes. 100 clips for $1.99. They have a notch for the twine. But they work well on my posts also. They should last several years.

The guy at the local hardware store was telling me about these--he got some and thought they were just wonderful! I just couldn't imagine what they looked like, judging from his description. Thanks for posting the photo. They do look very handy!
I wonder if we have anything like those over here in Scotland. I'll check the UK Amazon site and, if I may Donna, copy your photographs to take along to some garden centres. I really like the look of them and think they're perfect for tomatoes and climbers.
Thanks Jane. Eileen, Please do. I hope you can find them. They are just so easy to use. I used them on my vertical cantaloupe and cucumbers also.
