Spreads 1" x 0.5" claw bands so you can slip them over lobster and crab claws fast, without pinched fingers.

• 304 Stainless Steel, Corrosion Resistant in Saltwater: Built for saltwater, brackish water and live tank use. Rinse, dry and it is ready for the next haul, and it outlasts plastic banders that crack after a season.
• Fast Band Placement, No Pinched Fingers: The tapered tip opens a band to the right width and sets it close to the claw joint in one motion. Works on a moving boat, at a processing table or straight off the trap, even with wet or gloved hands.
• Fits Soft Shell, Hard Shell and All Major Species: Use it on Maine lobster, Dungeness, Blue crab, Rock crab and Jonah crab. The tip fits standard 1" x 0.5" claw bands and most commercial band sizes without adjustment.
• All-Stainless Handle, Compact and Easy to Carry: Bare stainless from tip to handle, with no rubber or plastic grips to crack, peel or hold grime. One hand works the tool while the other holds the claw, and it fits a bib pocket, apron or tackle bag between uses.
• Pairs With AirFly Silicone Claw Bands: Made for AirFly 1" x 0.5" FDA-compliant silicone bands (sold separately, made in USA) and works with most latex and rubber claw bands. For lobstermen, watermen, seafood processors and recreational crabbers.

Why band claws? A crab or lobster in a bucket, cooler or live tank uses its claws on everything around it: other crabs, other lobsters and the hand that reaches in. A claw band keeps your catch from crushing and tearing each other, cuts losses before cooking and makes handling safe from the trap to the pot. Lobstermen have banded claws for decades, and the same small step works for anyone pulling Dungeness, rock crab or blue crab from a crab trap, pot or ring net.

The AirFly Claw Bander Tool puts the band on fast. Squeeze it to open a 1" x 0.5" band to the right width, slide the band over the claw, set it close to the joint and release. It works on a moving boat, at a processing table or straight off the trap, even with wet or gloved hands, and keeps your fingers away from the claw.

Made of 304 stainless steel from tip to handle, with no rubber or plastic grips to crack or peel, it resists corrosion in saltwater, brackish water and live tanks. Rinse and dry after use. It is small enough to keep in a bib pocket, apron or tackle bag.

Use it on Maine lobster, Dungeness, blue crab, rock crab and Jonah crab, hard shell or soft shell. It fits standard 1" x 0.5" claw bands and works with most latex and rubber claw bands.

Pairs with AirFly food-grade silicone claw bands, made in the USA by an FDA-certified manufacturer and sold separately in 100 and 600 count bags, or together with this tool in the AirFly bands + bander kit.
