  • Invented by former F-16 mechanic Tom Burden, the mat prevents tools from sliding and ensures they are within easy reach, enhancing safety and efficiency during work.
  • Made from a durable polymer-silicone rubber, Grypmat is non-scratch, nonmagnetic, anti-static, chemical-resistant, easy to clean, and can hold tools at angles up to 70 degrees.

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.
