COMPANY UPDATE
The fully insulated cable staple is going to be a game changer for electricians everywhere.
THEVIPERCLIP – Strike it, Secure it
the Dragons was more than we dreamed possible and seeing their competitiveness to secure the deal was fantastic. We went in with one Dragon in mind and we were thrilled when she made us an offer and was so excited about our business. So, having the backing of all of the Dragons has given ViperClip great credibility and kudos. I think it’s that praise which has generated the current interest we’re seeing from some industry giants. Q: What can you tell us about the progress of ViperClip? We’ve been working away on completing the development for the staple gun. The one you would have seen on Dragons’ Den was a 3D printed prototype. We’ve made a few tweaks and are in the final stages of design, which will allow us to begin the manufacturing process. We’re very excited about the new version and we know electricians will be too! This is a tool designed by an electrician for an electrician, so you know it’s going to tick all the right boxes.
The designs are complete now for ViperClips to suit 1.5mm, 1.5mm 3-core and earth, 2.5mm and 4mm/ 6mm twin and earth cables, along with a variety of clips for round cables, such as flex and Tuf- Sheathed. We should be able to start manufacturing in the coming months with a view to the product going on sale early next year.
Fully insulated cable staple, which come in strips of 20, with a battery
powered stapler to secure cables to wooden joists and structures. Compared to using a single clip with a hammer and nail, these clips are at least 5 times faster to use with the stapler.
Will ViperClip become an indispensable part of every electrician’s toolkit?
It certainly has the potential. This novel creation from Gray’s Clips has already prompted a highly-positive response from the industry, with many quick to offer support for Julie and David. It’s time for the next chapter, and Ireland’s Electrical Magazine will be following Gray’s Clips every step of the way. Any electrician wishing to register their interest can find the necessary details on the ViperClip website.
No more fishing around in pockets for individual clips - the strips of clips are easy to load into the stapler. You can stretch the cable with one hand and apply the clips easily with the other. Impossible to over-fire clips – meaning, no risk of squashing or damaging the cable. No risk of electric shock in the event of a fault. Suitable for 1.5mm, 1.5mm 3-core and earth, 2.5mm and 4mm/ 6mm twin and earth cables, along with a variety of clips for round cables such as flex and Tuf-Sheathed.
