The short version

Buy it if

Homeowners hanging C6, C7 or C9 strings along a standard gutter or shingle edge
Anyone using LED C9s who wants the bulbs angled outward

Skip it if

You need to mount lights on ridges, fascia, tile roofs or metal surfaces
You are lighting mini lights only

What owners like

Hold C series sockets firmly and do the basic job well
Good value for a single roofline

Common complaints

Very little independent owner feedback exists for this specific clip
General purpose clips are a compromise next to clips made for one surface, according to installer guides

Based on LiteSource and AA Christmas retailer listings, the eBay product page, and clip guides from The Christmas Light Emporium and Decorator's Warehouse; owner feedback found was limited to one eBay buyer.

What it does

A box of 52 clear plastic clips that hold C6, C7 and C9 Christmas light sockets on gutters and shingle rooflines.

Gator snap grips the light socket so different base sizes stay put
Flips to aim LED bulbs outward
Built-in hook for icicle light strands
One clip shape works on both gutter lips and shingle edges

A low cost way to hang one roofline of C7 or C9 lights on a standard gutter or shingle edge, with a flip feature that points LED bulbs outward. Independent feedback on these specific clips is thin, and installer guides favor dedicated gutter, shingle or wedge clips when the roof or gutter is unusual.
