SNAP is a new tool designed to make cable management on trusses easier. Made by HSK-Schulte in German and distributed by GLP US, SNAP is a plastic, single molded, highly flexible tool that attaches to truss in seconds and uses a side holder to help users manage cables. The product is compatible with all standard two-inch (48-51mm) truss cords. The cable holder has a locking connector to ensure that cables don’t fall out of place, and SNAP can be opened or closed with a single hand. The product can hold cables of many sizes, from single core to standard Socapex multicore. An optional O-ring is available to secure single, or small cables in place within the standard holder.
