Welcome to the Tactical Corona Claspers!

If you've got to avoid touching things, might as well show everyone you mean business!

Built on the "Predator Action Pliers Mk2" by ecoiras and heavily influenced by designs from FishGee and RentaPrinter, these fun grips open and shut by squeezing your 2 fingers and thumb!

I think the Mantis grip design is more multifunctional than the original pliers design, great for anything from gripping papers to clasping around door handles!

This part is designed to be print-in-place, with no support material or assembly required!

I've included two designs, one which prints as one piece and other which prints as two pieces. The two-piece design is so you can print the actual grips separately in flexible material for a softer, more textured grip. I'm also including the Fusion 360 project so you can adjust tolerances to fit your specific printer, or so you can build upon the design even further!

In all seriousness, while these may be less practical than some other designs out there, I believe these can at least put a smile on your face during these tough times. If someone out there is able to use or have some fun with this design I spent a few hours whipping up, it will have been time well spent.

Full disclosure: I have not actually printed this myself, my printer is on the fritz and I'm currently waiting for a new one to arrive. Part of the reason I'm including the project file is so that people better at CAD than me can fix my mistakes! XD
