CLIO Large Tarp Clips 12-Pack — Heavy-Duty Lock-Grip Thumb Screws with Carabiners, Weather-Resistant Nylon

These CLIO tarp clips are a 12-piece heavy-duty clamping kit with lockable thumb screws and carabiners designed to bite strong into thick tarps, canopies, boat covers and fabrics without tearing.

If you need secure anchor points on covers or fabrics but lack grommets, the CLIO Large Tarp Clip kit creates reliable attachment points in minutes. Each set includes twelve oversized nylon lock-grip clips and twelve carabiners. Built with an extra-wide, six-row toothed jaw and an adjustable thumb screw, the clips are rated by the manufacturer to hold roughly 110–154 lb (50–70 kg) depending on material and rigging method, while remaining weather resistant for repeat outdoor use.

How do these tarp clips keep covers from tearing in wind?

The CLIO clips use a wide jaw with six rows of teeth that spread load across a larger area of fabric, reducing stress concentration that causes rips. The bolted lock-grip thumb screw tightens the jaw without over-crushing, giving a firm bite while protecting material integrity.

• 1.73-inch (4.4 cm) jaw width disperses force across more fabric fibers
• Six toothed rows increase gripping contact and resist slipping
• Bolted thumb screw locks pressure to avoid sudden loosening
• Durable nylon body resists corrosion and weather exposure

What size and strength can I expect from these large clips?

Each clip is made to clamp open about 0.59 inch (1.5 cm) to accept thick canvas, vinyl, or layered tarps. CLIO reports a holding range around 110–154 lb (50–70 kg) per clip in real-world tests; actual performance will vary with fabric type and how you anchor the load.

• Approximately 1.5 cm maximum jaw opening for thicker materials
• Manufacturer-tested bite force measured at up to 70 kg
• 12 clips plus 12 carabiners for multiple secure tie points
• Lightweight yet robust high-strength nylon for durability

How do I install and use the CLIO tarp clips on different covers?

Using the clips is straightforward: pinch the clip onto the fabric edge, tighten the thumb screw until it locks, then attach the included carabiner to the eyelet and tie off your rope, bungee or strap. They work on tarps, boat covers, awnings, pool covers and temporary shelters where grommets are missing or damaged.

• Clamp onto an edge or folded hem for stronger grip
• Tighten the adjustable knob until the clip holds securely
• Use carabiner to connect straps, ropes or tie-down points
• Remove by loosening the thumb screw before sliding off

Will these clips stand up to rain, sun and repeated use?

Yes—the clips are molded from high-strength nylon that resists water, UV degradation and rust, making them suitable for outdoor, marine, and seasonal applications. The mechanical thumb-screw and bolted assembly are designed for repeated tightening without cracking the housing.

• Waterproof and weather-resistant nylon construction
• Tear-resistant teeth and reinforced jaw design for longevity
• Carabiners included are suitable for quick attachment points
• Store indoors in winter to prolong life and maintain bite force

Who is this kit for? The CLIO 12-piece Large Tarp Clip kit is tailored to outdoor enthusiasts, DIYers, tradespeople, and homeowners who need dependable temporary or semi-permanent anchor points on tarps, covers and fabric without grommet hardware. It’s especially useful for boat owners securing covers, campers rigging awnings, and anyone transporting gear that requires quick, non-damaging clamp points.
