the unsung steel hero holding your chaos together for less than a penny.
means A small spring-loaded clamp of folded steel with two looped wire handles, used to grip stacks of loose paper together.
from A thoroughly American invention: the binder clip was patented in 1910 by Louis E. Baltzley, who reportedly devised it to help his father, a writer, keep his manuscript pages in order without punching holes in them. The name is plain description — it "binds" papers and "clips" them shut — and the design has barely changed in over a century, those folding wire arms being a small marvel of leverage.
