Compared to candle holders equipped with coil springs, these ones featuring clamps for mounting offer a more durable junction to the candle socket and a thorough hold on the tree. These candle holders are made entirely of sheet steel: The sturdy material is strong enough for the clamp to hold Christmas tree candles in place securely yet flexible enough to allow you to adjust it to the slope of a naturally grown branch. Plus, due to its design, you cannot overstretch the clamp made of high-tensile steel. Lastly, the drip pan underneath the clamp socket prevents the decoration, tree, and floor from being soiled by any dripping candle wax.
