Shingles, gutters, roof ridges, metal, fences, wireframes, or the lawn itself — every surface has a clip made for it. Match the clip to the surface and installation gets faster, cleaner, and kinder to your roof.
The surface decides the clip. Asphalt shingles and gutters take wedge or tab-style clips that slide on without tools, staples, or holes. Roof ridges get purpose-made ridge clips, metal roofs take magnetic clips, fences and soffits use screw-mount C-Clips, and the lawn gets ground stakes. Every clip family below is on this page — jump straight to yours, and pair them with our C7/C9 stringers or wireframe displays.
Wedge clips slide a double-beveled point between shingles and flex over the bulb to lock onto C7 or C9 sockets — hang pre-bulbed stringers or clip on-site. The Tuff Tab points bulbs outward from the shingle edge, the standard orientation for roofline installs.
One clip that handles C7, C9, and mini light strings on gutters and shingles alike — the simplest answer for mixed installations. Both are made in the USA.
Small, light-duty clips that hang light strings by the cord from gutters, eaves, and trim — for icicle lights, C7/C9 strings, and 5mm mini LED strings.
These snap around the 1/4″ steel rod of wireframe displays and grip the light base — for building, repairing, or re-lighting yard art. Black for dark frames, white for light ones.
Five-inch glass-filled nylon stakes drive straight into the ground and hold C7 or C9 sockets upright — outline walkways, driveways, and planting beds with no extra hardware.
Ridge clips for the roof peak, magnetic clips for metal roofs and flashing, screw-or-adhesive C-Clips for fences and soffits, and flat-surface Speed Tab adapters for commercial flat roofs.

We have struggled with Christmas lights for years because the hangers were not designed properly. The hangers allow the lights to stand properly!

Exactly what I have been needing to refurbish my wire- frame outdoor Christmas trees!
The TuffClips Wedge Clip earns its name from the double-beveled wedge point that slides between even tough-to-separate shingles. Flex-Over-Bulb technology means it installs both ways — pre-bulb your stringers before you hang, or clip on-site with bulbs already seated. An elongated body, reduced-gap cavity, fixed-angle tail, and raised contact pad add bite on shingles and gutters, the UV-inhibited plastic withstands extreme cold and heat for many seasons, and the clips stay with the lights at take-down.
The right clip is the difference between a straight, secure display and a saggy one — and between a quick install and a long afternoon.
No Tools on the Roofline
Wedge, tab, and all-application clips slide onto shingles and gutters by hand — no staples, screws, or holes in your roof.

Christmas Light Clip Questions & Answers
Which clip should I use on asphalt shingles and gutters?
TuffClips Wedge Clips are the all-in-one choice for attaching C7 and C9 sockets along shingles and gutters — the wedge point slides between shingles and the clip flexes over the bulb to lock on. The Tuff Tab positions bulbs facing outward from the shingle edge, the standard orientation for rooflines, and is the preferred clip of commercial installation crews. For mixed strings, All-Application clips handle C7, C9, and minis with one clip.
How do I attach Christmas lights to a metal roof?
Magnetic clips hold C9 sockets to metal roofs, metal gates, and flashing by magnetic force — no screws, adhesive, or staples — so installation and removal are straightforward. Note they are designed for use with SPT1 wire only.
What about roof ridges and flat commercial roofs?
Ridge clips are made specifically for the peak of the roof — they fit over shingle tabs on 10-inch and 12-inch shingles and hold C9 sockets without staples or shingle damage. For flat roofs and commercial buildings, Shingle Speed Tab adapters glue or screw to the surface and accept a standard shingle tab clip on top.
Do these clips damage shingles or gutters?
Shingle and gutter clips in this family attach without staples, screws, or holes — wedge clips slide between shingles, tab clips grip the shingle edge, and ridge clips fit over the shingle tabs at the peak. Screw-mount options like the C-Clip and Speed Tab are intended for fences, soffits, and flat surfaces where a permanent or semi-permanent base is the goal.
What clips work for mini lights and wireframe displays?
Mini light string clips hang icicle, C7/C9, and 5mm mini LED strings by the cord from gutters, eaves, and trim — small, light-duty clips for lightweight cord only. For wireframe yard art, 1/4″ wireframe clips snap around the steel rod on one side and grip the light base on the other — in black or white to match the frame.
How do I light a walkway or driveway?
5-inch Lawn Speed Stakes drive directly into the ground and hold a C7 or C9 socket upright at a low, clean height — no separate fixture needed. The glass-filled nylon shaft handles most soil types without breaking, which makes outlining walkways, driveways, and planting beds quick work.
Hang It Once, Hang It Right
Match the clip to the surface and the lights go up straight, stay up all season, and come down easy.
