Key Takeaways:

  • Grypmat is a sticky, flexible mat invented by former F-16 mechanic Tom Burden to prevent tool loss and sliding, addressing a critical safety and efficiency issue for mechanics, particularly in aviation.
  • Made from durable, non-scratch polymer-silicone rubber with anti-static and chemical-resistant properties, it securely holds tools at angles up to 70 degrees, keeping them accessible and allowing mechanics to focus on their work.

It is of particular importance for airplane mechanics to know where their tools are, not only because they are expensive, but also because a lost tool or other component can become a major flight hazard. Grypmat is a sticky mat that holds tools, screws, nuts and bolts in place so that you always know where they are.
