Weider Standard-Sized Spring Collar Clips with Plastic Handles

The clips have 2 concentric 1″ ID circles that became offset by approximately 1/32″ when the handles were squeezed. So, instead of the opening becoming larger, the opening became smaller when the handles were squeezed. Thus, they would not slip on my 1″ bar. I used Channellock pliers to slightly over bend and force the two circles to line up. Enough of the over bend was maintained after bending so that the two circles lined up and the clip was able to slip on the bar.

A little tight to put on but dies the job and were here earlier than expected
