Multi Clips

Description

Multi Clip is a unique fastener which will secure a large variety of objects of almost any size of shape.

It has endless uses in industry, the home, the garden and leisure activities such as camping and sport.

It will provide an easy, secure fixing, without the need for tools. It is re-usable, will not rust, and is invaluable in an emergency, such as a clamp for plumbing, kitchen appliances or as a hose clip in the car. It secures difficult shaped items like oars or tent poles to roof racks, fishing rods to bicycles and so on.

Multi Clip can be tightened to any diameter between 1cm and 10cm. The clips can be linked together to cater for larger diameters.

 How Does Multi Clip Work?

The Multi Clip consists of 3 basic components; threaded nylon strap, collar and tightening nut.

1. Simply slip the assembled fastener over object(s) to be secured and tighten up the locking nut until finger tight.
2. Where it is impossible to apply assembled, unscrew nut completely off the strap, then pull one end of the strap free of the collar. Introduce strap around the objects(s), re-insert the loose end of strap into collar, replace nut and tighten fully.
3. Where a single Multi Clip would not be large enough, 2 more clips may be combined. To do this:

• Remove nut and detach one side of strap from collar.
• Repeat this operation on a second clip (or more as required)
• Relocate loose end of one strap into collar of another Multi Clip.
• Repeat operation if 3 or more Clips are being joined.
• Relocate remaining loose strap end in the vacant position on final collar, thus creating a continuous loop of 2 or more Multi Clips.
• Replace all nuts into collars.
• Apply enlarged Multi Clip to object(s) as in 1 or 2.
• Hand-tighten each nut on the completed loop.
