Roach clip is short for Cockroach clip and it's a popular hairdo among the cockroach clan! Love those tie rites.
Good Fishing,

It was named a roach clip because pot holder had already been taken
Okay, I'll bite, how do you get the cockroach to stay still long enough to put the clip it? Enquireing minds want to know, taake care,John.
Promise them a new hair feather if they're good.
NewTyer 1, not only was "pot holder" taken, so was "pot sticker"...

Thanks gang. I'd love to find that exact style, since it seems perfectly designed for the job, but these responses - Mato's in particular - provided some good ideas for potential alternatives. After looking at the description of that one, I was able to Google some more specific terms and came across a wealth of alternatives that were oh so close. If you want to get lost in Google land for a while, try using some combination of cross action, cross locking, reverse action or self closing with the words tweezer, forceps, clamps or clip. Tons of similar items out there, just none that seem to have holes in the end or swivels on them. At least I'm in the right neighborhood though now. Thanks again for all the help.
