are clips metal or plastic that hold the plates in place

Good question, I just and looked and they appear to be made of plastic. Looks like the kind of plastic that a frying pan or oven handle is made out of.

I'm not positive, but these tabs certainly seem to be metal. The "click" when the plates are inserted sounds metallic.

There are two in the package and the clips are plastic. I'm afraid I haven't put them into service yet, so I can't comment on their functionality.

These are magnetic combs that have magnets and end plastics clips that hold them in place.

I haven't had any problems with the clips on these. That doesn't answer the question about the traditional metal clips but since I haven't had a problem with them, I haven't looked.

No pins. The plates are held on by magic.. just kidding. I will do my best to try and explain how they connect. The plastic weight plates have a small piece of metal that is riveted to them where they connect to the handle. The riveted metal piece is flush on the weight plates (i.e. part of the plate). The handles have a series of metal cylinder pieces that rotate and hold plates on (maybe this is what you are referring to as pins). But it is metal-on-metal that hold on the plates, or that is what mine appear to be.

They have clips as well as adhesive strips on them. They are very nice, with a good overall design.

They have tabs that are held in place by the plate fasteners. Easy to apply.

The plates that we have are smooth. I purchased th as a gift and have seen them hung, but I can't answer with certainty regarding your question. I'm sorry.

Yes they are more durable than regular plastic plate but you should still be careful.

Hi Hairy, the book plate is made of plastic, not metal. I use clamps and sometimes paper clips in the holes to hold the papers. Then, there are those little holders at the bottom that work OK.

The clips are hinged plastic and well made. No, I store them in a plastic drawer organizer---only a few can be stored on the right side as shown

Mine are plastic, but I haven't had any problems. I don't have a reason to hang heavy things on the rack.

No they are the plastic clips. They are really heavy duty my GSD can't even destroy them.

They are metal and solidly built. I couldn't tell the difference between these and the clip that came with my Crosman.

The one i odered was metal and very nicely done. It was brushed brass and if you have had plates like these made they are thin metal. The plate was packaged very nicely and was pefect and easy to mount with the attached adhesive.

I used the clips, but attached them to the microwave back. They seem to work as a spacer out from the wall. The long screws from above hold the microwave up.

Yes, the hooks are metal, coated with rubbery plastic. There's also a center latch to prevent the hooks from bouncing off.
