The Forever Zip Tie:
Reuse, Organize & Make Cords Safe
Do your cords keep coming apart? That’s a safety issue. It’s time to think safe and be safe with this innovative new product that solves the old problem of power cords accidentally coming unplugged – The Gripper Cord Connector! This simple two-part tool slides and snaps together around an electrical cord coupling.
Inspiration for our Gripper Cord Connector: I needed a better way to keep my power tools plugged in and operational at job sites. All too often, the power cord gets unplugged from the extension cord. I either have to tie the cords together, damaging the cords, or repeatedly reconnect them, as taping takes too much time. My invention ensures that the cords will not be pulled apart.
The Gripper can be used in almost any situation and would be beneficial in many industries, such as DIYers, audio visual, security, factories, conveyors, hospitals, LTC homes, the automotive industries, EV industry, cannabis growers - the list goes on. The impact of all the wasted cable ties and other materials on the environment is massive.
The Gripper will help to reduce the impact on the environment, and, with the right manufacturer, we hope to use 100% recycled plastic in the future. It has the potential to help everyone across the planet and reduce the carbon footprint wherever it is utilized.
REDUCE/REUSE/RECYCLE
1. We can’t always help buying plastic packaging for some things. So if you do, save the plastic bags or wraps. Then wash them if necessary and make sure to use them again.
2. Sometimes when you’re out, you can’t find a recycling bin for your waste. Take it back home and recycle it. Don’t put recyclable plastic waste into a normal rubbish/garbage bin, because it’ll unnecessarily end up in landfill, around an animal’s neck, or in the oceans.
3. Plan ahead – take a reusable cup and your own set of reusable cutlery, including a reusable straw, with you.
4. Use your own reusable fabric shopping bags (even reusable plastic shopping bags can end up as waste).
5. Think of our wildlife – cut plastic six-pack rings, tear open plastic bags, cut straws up and open or tear up any packaging that might get caught around a bird’s foot, a fox’s head, a sea turtle’s flipper or a seal’s nose.
What Our Customers Say
Great idea. “The Gripper” should be included in every corded electrical yard work tool sold. I use it on my yard leaf blower. No more need to hang on to the extension cord to make sure it doesn’t come unplugged. I used Velcro strips in the past but they would get all tangled, full of dirt… not as easy as your Gripper. I would recommend it for sure.

- Sharon, Brampton, Ont
"We have used the Gripper Cord Connector in many applications and is very helpful and safe in my business. I cannot afford to shut down production because of a disconnected extension cord. I like to have a case of grippers for every project. They are made as affordable and effective….."
- Jeff Greene
I have the honor to be the very first customer ever to purchase the Gripper Cord Connector. I have used it on many an occasion in the garden, house and workshop. It never comes apart and is simple to attach to any extension cord even if the two cords are different. It is an excellent addition to my electrical needs. Every household should have a few of them available for various uses. Great product.
