Does it pick up paper clips?

Yes....it has amazing suction - better than the previous Dyson I owned....but it also makes amazing noise picking up the paperclips, so maybe a little bending over wouldn't be out of place.

Yes, it does, plus an another kind (sorry I do not know the name) of holder in plastic. I use those and not the clips because having thin hair, the second kind works better for me.

It should . It has rubbery bristle that pick up heavy to vey fine dirt . It has picked up everything from glitter to grass clippings for me . Pull the head off in toss in dishwasher or drop in sink / bucket , and it's like a fresh new broom .,

Well it can handle staples and probably a paper clip although I never tried. It's a great shredder for the money. Mine is still trucking strong. I shred all my incoming mail. It has never over heat. And just don't put anything in it other than shredable things.

No. It will not pick up any kind of paper. That's one of the reasons I love it. I'm a smoker and I love that it picks up ashes that fall on my desk or table but does not disturb any papers I have there.

Yes. It's a piece of junk. Absolutely impossible to pull paper through without the edges getting caught.

Yes it does as the others have answered but I've never had occasion to use it as I pick up only dry material. The one thing I wish they would have done was made a handle on top so you can pick up the vac with one hand, you have to use both hands. I made a handle on top out of nylon webbing and sheetrock screws but I it would have been nicer if it had come that way.

"YES" Occasional Paper clips and staples. although when I do shed I reuse the paper clips. Why not! remember its a "paper" shredder not a paper clip staple shredder. Be conscious of your use and the wear and tear. No 'thing' last forever! In addition Listen to the sound of the motor. You'll know when stress is greater when the shredder is running smoothly. Hope this helps Don't forget to deep breath often!!!

Yes, it will pick up small amounts of leaves; this a feature I like since we have a number of trees on or behind our property.

Yes, it does. However, I don't recommend it. It jams too much and the place where you empty the paper remnants has so small an opening that the paper has a tendency to become jammed inside the machine. Believe it or not I recommend a machine that I bought thru LTD Commodities for 20.00. It works much better and can also hole punch holes on one side and binding machine holes on the other. It is also has a much bigger handle.

Yes. It picks up anything that is on the surface especially small bugs. I have one in FL and one in GA. It definitely works!

There are a lot of recent reviews showing how easy it is to pick this with a paperclip or hair clip. I'd like to know from recent purchasers if this is still the case, without having to purchase a new lock for the unit.

It does if you grip several pages with the clip and not just the cover of your book

It can pick up whatever a swiffer cloth picks up. Dirt and sand? Maybe a little. I find it's great for dust and pet hair...

i havent tried it on those, but it picks up sweet gum balls very well, and i believe it would pick up anything that is basically round in shape.

I believe it will. It picks up small leaves and even grass clippings in our yard.

Actually, it can-- from the multi-tray, but you have to guide it through (push lightly) when it first starts to pull the paper, so it catches. Not especially productive, but it will work if you have to do it.
