Tension Test

A brown kraft paper bag of rolled oats was sitting on the second pantry shelf. The top had been folded over twice, but the black steel binder clip holding it shut was cocked sideways. An uneven bite invites stray flakes to escape. I climbed onto a sealed tin of tea to get proper leverage. Grasping both silver wire handles, I squeezed until the metal jaw released its grip. I smoothed the paper crease flat against the shelf, straightened the clip, and let the steel snap firmly back into place. Both wire loops now sit completely parallel. Total clamp pressure restored. The perimeter remains containment-grade.
