Innovative tool solves safety challenge

Designed to combat ongoing and critical safety issues in environments such as aviation, aerospace, and military maintenance, the Snip n’ Grip allows for effective removal and disposal of cable ties — an issue which is a proven contributor to various catastrophic system failures across numerous industries.

Through smart innovation, the Snip n’ Grip safely cuts and retains cable ties for safe disposal, a feature that sets it apart from conventional tools, significantly reducing the risk of cable tie debris becoming a hidden hazard.

Mathew Jones, product design executive at C.K Tools said: “At C.K Tools we are always looking for new ways to solve industry safety challenges and FOD is, and always will be a critical issue. It’s well documented that cable ties have been involved in numerous incidents that have put lives in danger – in fact, the catastrophic Air Midwest Flight 5481 crash involved cable ties as a contributing FOD factor.  

“The design of the Snip n’ Grip tool means the cable tie is cut and captured in one movement, retaining the cut tie which can then be safely disposed of. A small innovation with big safety assurances, significantly reducing the chance of cut ties becoming loose in critical areas.”

The Snip n’ Grip Cable Tie Cutter and Captivator is designed with precision machined heads and bright handles for high visibility in tight or dim environments. Its flush-cutting jaws ensure clean removal of cable ties without damaging surrounding wires, hoses or delicate components – even in crowded installations – and the ergonomically designed, spring-loaded handles return the jaws to the opening position after each cut to reduce user fatigue and enable quick, effortless operation.

Suitable for a range of environments, from MRO workshops through to military maintenance and aerospace manufacturing lines, the Snip n’ Grip is set to be a game-changer across industrial supply, electrical, automotive, and aerospace sectors.
