It should be W/Holders. And so should yesterday's part.
This piece remind me when i build a lego set and Sound a Click very cool!
Combined with the other version of this piece, this comes in 1220 sets. It's interesting that we get pieces chosen that are so specialized, and ones that are really versatile, but at fairly consistent intervals.
Or I'm seeing a pattern where there isn't one. Could be that to.
Surprisingly lacking in some standard colours like Blue.
Every time I see a clip like this one I miss the "thick U" version. I know why these exist and I appreciate that, but I like the old look better.

And there’s the issue that LEGO nomenclature for these clips is based on the orientation of the actual clip, where AFOL nomenclature is based on the orientation of whatever it holds. I look at this and see horizontal clips.
Really like this part. At first it seems like a part made out of other parts, but the added rigidity is a game changer.
@peterlmorris:
When I need to hang a sheet of paper off the side of our layouts, I use L-shaped bars that are mounted in this from one side, and the single clip version from the other. It makes a strong anchor that won’t pop out in either direction.
This is the sort of piece I would have raised an eyebrow at before it came out, but I have to admit that this is an immense improvement over using two 1x1 clips beside each other--vastly improved strength.
