Used these for the first time last week as decent weather finally arrived. Only a light breeze but had to retrieve one of my pillowcases from the pear tree and of the eight pegs I used on the duvet cover only three were holding it. The other pegs were still on the line but had not hung on to my good quality(not flimsy) 100% cotton cover. Although they wouldn't hold the cotton sheets they did hold thick towels but it was extremely difficult to remove the pegs from them. Unfortunately for me I bought two packs of these. Luckily I also bought flower design soft grip pegs which were much better.

excellent for keeping plastic bags closed - easy to remove for those with hands that don't work well! but I found it to difficult - to tight on clothes line - but perhaps that is why those in high wind areas like them!

My friend has similar pegs which I thought were brilliant but she couldn't remember where they came from. Which is why I purchased yours, but they were awful.Too difficult for me to put on and even worse to take off. If I needed to run out in the rain to snatch the washing in quickly..... not a chance.Ended up getting soaked so have reverted back to the ordinary pegs and donated yours to charity

These may well secure washing in strong winds etc but there is little point in that if you struggle to get the things on in the first place! Nor am I enamoured at struggling during a sudden downpour to remove them! I don’t know who tested these at Lakeland but they must have the strength of Samson. They are simply “not fit for purpose”. Might I ask/suggest Lakeland looks into stocking Twisty Pegs (google it); infinitely more reliable and a doddle to use.

I am rarely disappointed with goods I buy from Lakeland, but purchased these storm pegs quite recently and have tried to use them several times. I struggle to get them on the line, and struggle even more to get them off! No good at all for 70-odd year olds with arthritic fingers.
