Pro tip: a $1.25 pack of binder clips saved my garage shelf from collapsing
My shelf brackets kept sliding down the wall every time I loaded them up, so I clipped a binder clip under each one at the 14 inch mark and they have not budged in 3 months. Total cost was like a buck and a quarter for the whole box. Has anyone tried this trick on wire shelving too?

Saying the brackets "kept sliding down the wall every time I loaded them up" makes me wonder how much weight we're talking about here. If the shelf was really sagging under a normal load, a binder clip seems like it would just get crushed or pop off, not hold things steady for 3 months. Clips are thin metal and they aren't made to take any real force, so this might be more about a light shelf that barely moved anyway. What were you actually putting on it?
