Locking Crocodile Clip on a 305mm (12-inch) Flexible Ball Chain
This versatile holding tool functions as a flexible third hand for intricate tasks. It consists of a 305mm (12-inch) stainless steel ball chain, providing excellent flexibility, with a locking crocodile clip at each end for a secure grip on lightweight items.
The all-stainless-steel construction ensures durability and resistance to corrosion from workshop chemicals or cleaning solutions. The locking mechanism on the clips prevents accidental release, holding items firmly in place while you work. Originally designed for dental use, its construction allows for easy cleaning and sterilisation via autoclave.
Use it for holding polishing cloths at the bench, keeping technical diagrams visible and hands-free, or securing small parts during painting or assembly.
