** KISS – Keep it Simple, Stupid
Acronym for a design principle credited to U.S.Navy aircraft engineer
Kelly Johnson  – 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

Imitations have limitations
