You can't get these locally. They do a very good job of keeping my canvases in the frame.

Comments about OOK Metal Offset Clips:

I framed a painting, liked how the clips worked and my only problem was figuring the right size.

Comments about OOK Metal Offset Clips:

These offset clips worked well. I have bought others but found these cost less and worked just about as well. Definitely helped me use a 3/8 inch rabbet on a deeper canvas.

Way cheaper than any place else I found.

Comments about OOK Metal Offset Clips:

I'm a very inexperienced framer. My canvases are about 5/8" thick but most frames have a 3/8" rabbit. So there's about a 1/4" offset where the canvas sticks out of the back--it's not quite level with the frame. Using the OOK metal offset clips, the 1/4" difference is very easily accounted for. I had earlier tried offset clips from my local hobby store--and they were a disaster. But the OOK clips were dead easy to use, hold the canvas securely, and provide a professional look to the picture. It took me about 30 minutes total to go from unframed canvas to professionally framed art. In fact the hardest part about framing was gluing on the brown paper backing to protect the artwork from dust, etc.! If you want to try framing yourself, take a look at Blick's gorgeous frames and get these clips in the appropriate size to deal with any offset issues.

Comments about OOK Metal Offset Clips:

Framing can get downright expensive, so I frame my work at home. These offset clips are perfect for mounting paintings done on stretched canvas. They are strong and mount easily.

Comments about OOK Metal Offset Clips:

Convenient and easy to use. Should be sold in bulk so less packaging.

Comments about OOK Metal Offset Clips:

These offset clips come in packages of 8 clips and are supposed to have 16 screws to attach one end to frame and the other to the canvas. However, some packages only included 12 screws and one had only eight. Thank goodness I have spare screws on hand otherwise if I were doing a plein air competition where you have to frame your work on the spot... I'd be screwed... pardon the pun.

These clips are necessary for framing and I was delighted to find them here. The offset comes in various sizes and I probably will be getting more of them in the future.

I have purchased 2 of these thinking the first set I got was in error but, nope! You need 2 screws for each off set piece however, only 1 screw is sent so be certain you have extras!
