Every year I had to replace the existing christmas light clips because of their poor design, that’s when an idea came to mind.  So I sat in the living room and began to build a better light hanger.

I asked my mother for a bobby pin, then rolled the end and found it was very strong and would hold the weight of the lights. The only drawback was rust from any moisture accumulation. This was indeed the first Soffit Clip.

Soon I was thinking it would be much better in a plastic compound, lighter and rust free. I began to draw and It would be years from the bobby pin to the new clip. Undaunted, I continued toward my goal to create the Soffit Clip.
