The Saunders Metal Clipboard is a heavy-duty mobile office solution manufactured from recycled aluminum. This material choice provides significant torsional rigidity, which helps maintain a flat, stable writing surface even when you are standing or moving. The unit is designed with two separate internal compartments: a primary bay that is 1 inch deep for bulk documents and a secondary 0.5-inch bay for smaller forms or sensitive items.
Build Quality & Usability
The aluminum chassis is built to handle the rigors of construction sites or busy hospital wards, offering a level of durability that plastic units cannot match. However, this strength comes with a weight penalty; the unit is approximately 40% heavier than many plastic alternatives. The self-locking latch provides a secure closure, but users may find it requires two hands to operate if they are trying to open or close it silently in a quiet environment.
The external high-capacity clip is equipped with a serrated edge, allowing it to hold up to 150 sheets without them slipping out. While the black powder-coated finish is resistant to common sanitizing wipes, it is possible for the finish to chip if the unit is dropped on hard surfaces like concrete. For those working in very quiet areas, adding a small piece of tape to the latch contact point can help reduce the "clack" noise when closing the case.
- Aluminum construction provides a naturally opaque barrier for privacy.
- Dual-tier internal storage helps keep different types of paperwork separated.
- Built to maintain a rigid writing surface under significant localized pressure.
For a lighter, more affordable plastic option that still offers internal storage, the Sooez High Capacity Clipboard is a popular choice for light-duty office tasks.
