Saunders Cruiser-Mate Aluminum Dual Storage Clipboard, Letter Size 8.5x11

This is a great product. Heavy duty, far superior to plastic models!

Now, let's got this started by clearing the table of something important and quite near and dear to my heart. What your seeing here is something made in America. That means much-needed jobs for our fellow Americans and a better future for all our children. More than that, its made out of fine-grade re-cycled aluminum, meaning a cleaner future too. I never much was one for bottom-open box clipboards. No, sir. Not me. Take the fellas I work with. Good folk, don't get me wrong, but theirs being a clumsy bottom-opener, well I just knew there were gonna be problems. Why, I'd reckon that this here Saunders Cruiser-Mate has that old thing beat in all dimensions by any measure. For starters, there's the matter of from which end it does its business. As far as getting forms and whatnot, the ease with which I'm able to manipulate this fine-crafted utility in the field makes much quicker on the draw. Boy I'll tell you, nothing quite exemplifies finesse and tact in the art of form-fetching and -filing than being able to look a man square in the eye and get the job done right without breaking that most-important of trust-building interactions, no sir. Aesthetically speaking, why gosh darnit, that brushed aluminum finish sure does put off a nice eye-fetching shine under the scorch of the midday sun. Paired finely with its gold-tone clip up top, it subtely speaks volumes about the carrier and his (or, for that matter, her) appreciation for the finer side of life and discretion in employing it. In all other physical properties, let me tell you what, this baby is built for serious business. Don't let that aluminum contsruction fool you now, when you hold this piece of equipment in your hands, you know you got something that's gonna be in it for the long run, be with you for a while. While not heavy, by any means it's got a feel of some really solid heft to it, which bring me to another point... Now I've heard some serious barking and yapping going on about some other clipboards about sharp edges and whatnot. Let me tell you something, I've never held this with anything but my bare hands and I've never felt the slightest feeling that it would do me wrong and go slicing my fingers, even through my own fault. Granted, the corners (not edges) look like they mean business. I mean, they come to a no-fooling-around ninety degree angle. Does this make me feel less safe? You remember that "heft" I was telling you about? Well, I do believe that, if need be, it could serve purpose as not only a defensive, but also counter-offensive piece of hardware. Why, it could even one day save myself. Yes, sir. In case you haven't noticed, I'm quite proud of this item. When I'm out there doing my thing, it does half the talking for me. It is the first thing people see when I make my approach, and gives me the authority I need for any situation, like a knight in shining armor (or in this case aluminum clipboard). When I came into this new post as a supervisor, it established me as a serious man with his act together. Of all my uniform and its accessories, this one sets me apart more than any other and is my favorite (except for maybe my Mag-Lite of course, but that's like it's cousin, and I'll leave that tale to tell another day). Its kinda like Excalibur, except I think that was made in England.

My husband, a truck driver, loves the Saunders Metal Clipboard with Storage. He’s dropped these a million times (he’s a bit of a princess when it comes to dents and dings 😄), and they’ve held up well overall. These clipboards are his go-to for work, and the built-in storage is super handy for keeping papers organized while on the road. Why He Loves It: ✔ Durable – They’re made of metal, so they’re solid, even though he’s dropped them more times than I can count. ✔ Storage is a bonus – The extra compartment for papers or pens makes it so much easier to stay organized. ✔ Reliable – Despite all the abuse, these clipboards are still in one piece and working great! ✔ Perfect for the truck – They fit well in his truck and make his job a little more organized and efficient. If you need a tough clipboard that will last, the Saunders Metal Clipboard is the one! And if you’re like my husband and a bit picky about the condition, this is still the clipboard that’s up for the challenge!

What I like is the solid construction and the fact that it’s made with quality materials. The hardware is not flimsy either and there are no sharp edges you find with some of them. The whole thing feels very well made. It’s versatile as well and fits everything I need perfectly inside. It is for sure a heavy duty piece of kit. What I was disappointed in is that mine came slightly damaged. As you can see, the clip on the top of mine is bent. This isn’t a huge deal for me, but it was a bit of a disappointment. I can understand how some buyers might be upset if theirs came like this. Other than that, I think it’s a good product at a fair price.

I've used this for a while now, I currently use it for drawing with a pencil. It can hold paper, a few mechanical pencils, replacement lead, replacement erasers, and a big eraser, along with paper. It looks pretty nice, simple, clean. It doesn't feel entirely sturdy, but I wouldn't want it to be much heavier. It hasn't gotten bent at all, but I could probably twist the lid off if I simply applied sideways pressure to the open lid. If it had more metal, it would be heavier and more expensive. It does NOT have sharp edges, nor are the edges "weird", no folds, no seams, no little holes where it was bent together. It has nice edges and corners. It is a good clipboard. It doesn't obstruct too much of the page, you can bring the paper down a bit to have as little of the top blocked as possible and a regular sized sheet won't go off the bottom. The clipboard hinge and spring are good, stiff but not a hassle. It's better than a similar plastic one, although I do use both. The plastic one has a separate storage place for writing utensils.

Excellent product! Very sturdy, spacious, perfect for my needs. I'm using it store certificates of authenticity for rare collectibles that I take to shows. The separate section allows me to keep the smaller certs from getting mixed up with the larger ones and inadvertently dropped. And the clipboard front is great. Very happy!

Sturdy, lightweight, love the multiple layers to hod papers and pens. Organizes well

Well built for the price

0.8mm厚のアルミ製。固いものや角張ったとこにぶつければ凹むし、実使用に差し支えない程度ですが撓みます。特別頑丈な造りではないです。その点は同社樹脂製のスリムメイトが優れてます。 ペンケース要らずの収納力はA4サイズのルーズリーフで上段100枚 下段200枚＋ペン3～5本くらい 色は黒のマイカ(パールというかシルバーの細かい粉が入る)です。断面の処理などはまぁ大雑把なアメリカ製という感じ。

Buen material.

まず頑丈。アルミ製ですが、厚さは十分あるので基本的にな仕様にはまず問題無く耐えるだけの強度があります。 海外製らしい大らかな仕上げではありますが、指や服を引っ掛けてしまうような危険なバリ等は無く、むしろシンプルに武骨なスタイルは好感が持てます。 クリップも丁番も耐久性を重視した構造で、車載でも問題無く使用が可能なレベルかと思います。 中の仕切りも最小限で使い手が知恵をめぐらす余地が多いのも良いですね。 値は張りますが、価格に相応しい高品位の商品です。 ただ、購入する際はアメリカ製である事をお忘れなく。小柄な人には持て余しがちなサイズです。

Está muy bien construido, lo usaré para cargar documentos en el hospital, el único problema que tengo es que es muy ruidoso el aluminio para mis guardias, nada que papel aterciopelado no solucione, en general es muy espacioso, se siente duradero y el color negro no es pintura sobre el aluminio, si no que el aluminio ya es de ese color, con el uso espero no se desgaste el color.

Arrived dented and damaged on the corners.
