*KISS is an acronym for "Keep it simple, stupid" as a design principle noted by the U.S. Navy in 1960. The KISS principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complicated; therefore simplicity should be a key goal in design and unnecessary complexity should be avoided.
Examples
Combi Deceptively simple but extremely powerful flexible vacuum magnetic base. Incorporates our subtle, patented "Vacuum On Demand" principle – VOD
T bar Designed simply to incorporate the following features: Moulded in recess for easy cord/rod removal – this eliminates the need for cord grips. Under bar teeth gives a range of tension adjustment. Wrap round cord layout ensures movement free security. Four shock cord loops – one per rod grip to ensure separation.
Quad The simple looking bend-adjust stainless steel connecting plate was designed to eliminate complex joints, give curvature adjustment with maximum rigidity.
Loc We noticed fishermen, particularly professionals, liked to leave their vacuum racks attached all season. However there was a security issue with this. Solution – an added base dome with removable lever
