These Clipperton Roller Shower Curtain Rings are awesome! Anyone with a shower should have this set! This is one of those things that you generally don't think about, but it makes life a lot more convenient.The use of free-floating rolling balls have taken the traditional shower curtain ring design and improved it. Traditional rings overcome natural resistance with increased force, which means increased friction. Over time, this friction can wear parts down, plus it can sometimes be a pain to tug on that shower curtain only to have it get snagged or not budge (or worse, the pulling force results in the curtain popping out of a ring(s), or the whole bar just falling down.) The old rings I had were round plastic ones that constantly popped open, often got snagged up, and over time increased the size of the hole on the shower curtain. They took a lot of force to move, and on one occasion I pulled a little too hard and down came the whole enterprise. So I decided to give these a try.Using rollers, these rings greatly reduce the resistance and friction involved by introducing a free-floating part that rotates as it moves along the bar. It takes almost zero force to move the shower curtain, and it places less stress on the entire system (to avoid having to use force that could result in the entire thing falling down.) The construction of these are solid. The tapered design ensures that these are always positioned the same way, and helps prevent the curtain from popping out. The clip on the rings also prevents the curtain from popping out, plus it prevents snags or tears.I have the chrome version one, and have used it for about two years now. Despite frequent exposure to humidity and heat, there is not the single bit of corrosion or rust, showing that the metal being used is a very high-quality steel, and that the nickel coating is very durable. These are a good bit more than generic shower curtain rings, but their quality justifies the price. They make life a little more convenient, they can reduce wear, and they will last a lifetime.
