Atomic Jel-E-Wyre

Since Atomic stopped distributing the original JellyWire, Simon Healy has been out sourcing an all new product to replace it.

Korda Hybrid Lead Clip

Danny Fairbrass and the guys at Korda sat down a few years back and completely rethought the lead clip situation by starting with a blank page. The collective minds at Korda came up with this radical design, but does it do what it is designed to do?
