At some point in 2020 amid everything else that was happening, I dropped a set of channel locks in the bilge of my tugboat. I had a typical, garbage tier grabber that I would use to get things that were just out of reach.

Most of the time it didn’t work.

The rubber coated handles combined with the oil and water in the bilge made the channel locks impossible to grab.

After fixating on the issue for a while, I decided to solve the problem myself. Sketches were made, followed by a series of prototypes. Finally after many iterations, a fantastic working model came to be. You can buy one here. More tools are in the works.
