A gripper for securing loads in a car boot (trunk). It has angled teeth so no hook-and-loop style tape is required, which I wasn't keen on using as it never seems to last very long for me.

Even though they didn't seem to bite into the carpet as much as I thought they would, they did a good job of securing my heavy tool case. They are designed to sit under the corners of the load, and so the heavier the load the more pressure is put on the teeth, which keeps them secure.

You will need a minimum of two if you want to secure an object against the side, or 4 if you want to secure an object in the middle.

It is recommended to print them the right way up on a raft to minimise the support needed. I used 50% infill, 2mm layer height so the teeth have some definition. You will probably need to tidy up the teeth with a sharp pair of cutters, but it's a quick job.
