Amazon Customer: I don’t usually write reviews but these pull tabs are fantastic. Nice sturdy aluminum and wider than original pull tabs making it so much easier to screen out when washing windows. I’ve replace 4 so far in no time at all. Tempted to replace on all screens even if they don’t need it.

Hope Beverly: I live in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Rarified air and all that stuff. That means that UV does a number on anything it reaches. Outdoor furniture degrades quicker than you would ever imagine. So, window screens, being on the outside of our UV-filtering windows, get hammered. So far (5 years) the screen itself hasn't degraded, but every black pull tab on our screens has turned hard and then cracked when you try to use it. I tried the hack of using duck tape, but that only resulted in UV damaged duck tape sticking to the screen frames (that took about one season, I think). I was resigning myself to having to change out the tabs every other year, and then found these.
They are about twice as wide as the black pull tabs my screens came with. Not a big deal, as they are also metallic, so don't show as much as the black. Putting them in and out was tricky, but not because of the product. On one screen, the spline had disintegrated under the UV, and so tore every time I tried to pull it out. On almost all of them, the screen material was adhering to the frame. You have to lift the screen material fully out of the track to place the tab under it, so that was a little...

Keith KellewayKeith Kelleway: The ones that came proper shape work great but definitely some quality control issues here. They sent 26 (24 in my photo) and 6 were completely f*****.
Great replacements, good thing theres lots in the box, bank on an extra box if you have lots of windows to do.

Dave SchaackDave Schaack: These clips work when they aren't damaged -- but several of the ones I received were damaged, even though they were delivered in a nice container!
First, there is some confusion expressed in the various reviews about how these clips are to be used. I had trouble figuring it out, too. The fact is that they can function fine as screen lift clips -- it is just that the finger edge of the clip has to be accessed from the opposite side of the screen from where the clip is mounted. In other words, the "tail" of the clip is inserted into the spline channel BEFORE the screen and the spline go in. Thus, the finger edge of the clip ends up on the opposite side of the screen frame from the spline channel. The spline channel then faces toward the outside of the window if you want the clip to be on the inside. See the photo of one of my screen assembled with these clips, taken from the inside.
Maybe another way of explanation will make it clearer. These clips are basically rectangular "C" shapes, with a tail extension existing on one short side of the "C". That short side of the C goes up against one side of the spline channel, with the "tail" sitting on the bottom of the spline...
